HMP Manchester is facing severe issues with drug delivery and violence, as highlighted by the chief inspector of prisons. Despite an urgent notification for intervention, the prison remains in a precarious state with broken windows and inadequate security. The government allocated £10 million for anti-drone measures, but concerns persist about the overall prison system's ability to manage drug use and violence. Chronic staff shortages and a lack of meaningful activities hinder rehabilitation efforts, leaving many prisoners locked in cells for extended periods.
