4FM: Drugs in Prison

8th February 2010

Liam Herrick talks to David Harvey on 4FM's 'Lunchtime on 4' about the issue of drugs in prison.

Overcrowding and the high proportion of prisoners who enter prison already experiencing substance abuse issues exacerbate the problem of drugs in prison. More humane prison conditions and the provision of drug counselling services will create a better and safer legacy.

Our work is supported by

Respect for rights in the penal system with prison as a last resort.
