Drugs worth an estimated £100m a year are being traded in Britain’s prisons, claims the former head of drug treatment policy at the National Offender Management Service. Huseyin Djemil argues that the prison service has failed to grasp the scale of the drugs market.
However, Gordon Brown hailed the news as proof that the nation continues to lead the world in opening up innovative new markets.
“If enterprising British drug dealers can extract £100m from criminals doing time inside our jails,” said the Prime Minister, “Just think how much they could make if they were allowed into prisons around the world.”
He added that he would press other nations at the next G8 summit to open up their detention centres to British dealers, in the interests of free trade.
