Revealed: How Jails Cover Up The True Extent Of Drug Abuse
REVEALED: HOW JAILS COVER UP THE TRUE EXTENT OF DRUG ABUSE
Prison officers are deliberately failing to test inmates who are taking drugs in an attempt to conceal the extent of substance abuse in Britain’s jails.
An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has uncovered evidence that a secret policy is being operated by staff in which prisoners who are not using drugs are tested repeatedly, while others who are thought to be using drugs are selected for tests far less frequently.
The aim is to increase the proportion of negative results recorded for a prison, which in turn means that official government figures record a lower incidence of drug abuse in jails than is the case.
The covert practice was disclosed to this newspaper in tape-recorded interviews by senior officials, including a former prison governor and a former head of prison security.
Both reported that there was widespread collusion to give a false impression of the level of drug use in jails and to help the Prison Service meet government targets for reducing abuse.

Bara kom o tänka på det. Tänk vad förvånad man skulle bli om det inte bara var saxat, utan också kanske översatt på svenska. Fan va cool det skulle vara!

hehe, fan vad bra metod. Om man inte testar knarkarna så får man inga positiva prov
Fler poliser av den sorten tack. Om vi inte gör några beslag i tullen fastän vi tar in varenda pensionär så måste det ju betyda att ingen försöker smuggla in knark.
