Gangs stockpiling drone-delivered drugs, phones, and weapons in overcrowded jails, conference hears
"Contraband is getting into prisons on an alarming scale and is controlled by organised crime gangs in custody who are making significant profits on them."
"Prisoners are brazenly stockpiling drugs, phones, and weapons everywhere and anywhere they can for future sale and use."
Contraband is infiltrating Irish prisons at an alarming rate, leading to prisoners stockpiling drugs, phones, and weapons. Organized crime gangs within the prisons control this contraband trade, generating significant profits. The issue was highlighted during the Prison Officers' Association annual conference, where concerns about the extent of contraband and its management were raised. The situation poses serious challenges for prison security and the safety of both staff and inmates.
