Prisons keeping inmates dependent on drugs, says new report
Methadone being prescribed too easily rather than detox programmes
Almost 30,000 prisoners are being kept dependent on drugs by the prison service rather than being put through detox programmes, according to a new report.
Methadone, along with similar drugs, is being prescribed too easily thanks to risk-averse clinical guidelines and inexperienced prescribers, concludes the Policy Exchange report, to be released on Monday.
