The significant surge of drone incidents in prisons, with 1,296 reported in just 10 months, signals a major breach in prison security that demands urgent funding and measures.
Andy Slaughter highlights that organized crime is ahead of prison security, stating, 'Clearly they are playing catch up,' and this growth in drone incidents should raise alarm bells.
HM chief inspector of prisons, Charlie Taylor, emphasized the gravity of the situation, declaring that the surge in drone activity is his 'number one concern,' linking it to increased risks of firearms.
An inspection report described the drone situation at HMP Garth as so severe that an inmate likened it to an airport due to the incessant contraband deliveries.
