Drugs smuggling 'destabilising' prisons, watchdog says

Drugs smuggling in UK prisons, highlighted in a watchdog's report, is deemed a major concern affecting prison stability and rehabilitation efforts. The report reveals issues of overcrowding, lack of purposeful activities, and staff shortages contributing to the problem. Criminal gangs using drones to fly contraband into prisons are exacerbating the situation, with drugs easily accessible to inmates, hindering security measures and posing risks to national security.
