Corruption in Prisons Letter


When Birmingham Prison was recently taken over by the Government from G4S, it was reported that this prison is awash with drugs and generally disorderly.  Leaving aside the legitimate question of why the government employs a company with an already terrible record, the staffing side should be looked at.  Surely a prison by nature has very few ways for the drugs to get in through?  So either the staff are insufficient in numbers or training in order to deal with the problem, or they are complicit in this situation.  Those who are in uniform should not be above scrutiny.
