Drugs Free Prisons?

[odyssey]

If we can't keep drugs out of prisons, with the most controlled group of citizens in the country, how can we keep them out of an island?

From BreakingNews.ie:
Drugs are freely available in prisons and the battle to keep out them out is in “tatters”, according to a report by the Drug Policy Action Group (DPAG). The drugs problem in prisons is as serious as ever and probably worsening, according to the author of the report which came out today, Paul O’Mahony. He said the Irish Prison Service was facing “immensely difficult challenges” in dealing with drug problems among prisoners. The report, Key Issues For Drugs Policy In Irish Prisons, concludes that the prison service “has long failed and is continuing to fail” to meet these challenges... Mr O’Mahony said the realities of prison life means that for many prisoners drugs were never more attractive and available than in prison. Since 2006, the official policy of the Department of Justice has been to maintain a totally drugs-free prison system.

Can't keep them out because nobody really gives a damn.The POs would go on strike if you upset them and told them they would have to be more vigilant.
