Criminals Break INTO Jails To Deliver Drugs

Pals drop off food in security crisis

Cash-strapped jails are facing a new crisis – people breaking IN.

In one case, a 13-year-old boy strolled into an open prison to deliver drugs.

Unions say security is so lax at other low-category sites that criminals drop off takeaway food to pals still inside.

The Prison Officers Association said Tory cuts had left some Category D jails with just three guards overnight.

The incidents came to light after one prisoner was battered by intruders at HMP Spring Hill, in Aylesbury, Bucks.
