"Mounjaro weight loss jabs and tooth whitening strips are being delivered to jail cells using drones, according to prison governors. BBC Newsnight visited HMP Edinburgh, where prison governors said flying delivery machines have been regularly used to smuggle weapons, drugs and mobile phones into jails. Guards have started intercepting contraband, including pharmacy supplies not readily available inside prisons. The most unusual item we've had recently is Mounjaro"
"It's obviously not something that we regularly see, so that would indicate to us that it has been specifically requested to be sent in for a particular individual. I would think that someone genuinely wants it to lose weight. I mean it's all the rave just now, it's very popular, people are seeing fantastic results on it so you'll have people in custody thinking - I want a bit of that'."
