The Inspector General of Prisons in the UK has warned that the use of drones to smuggle weapons and drugs into the country's prisons is a threat to national security despite the tight security measures in place.
Charlie Taylor, the head of the UK's Inspectorate of Prisons, yesterday announced that Manchester and Long Lartin prisons, which house the most dangerous criminals including terrorists and leaders of various criminal gangs, are facing a serious crisis of various illegal businesses carried out by drones.
Inspections conducted at Manchester and Long Lartin prisons show that drones are being used to carry larger loads of drugs, mobile phones and even weapons, with some prisoners guiding drones into their cells by breaking prison windows to receive drugs and weapons.
Taylor stressed that the illegal economy has flourished in these prisons, and criminal gangs control the situation around these prisons. In his report, Taylor called on the British Ministry of Justice to take action as soon as possible to combat these crimes.
The head of the UK's Prison Inspectorate said: "It is deeply concerning to see the police and prison service failing to monitor and monitor the situation in these prison areas."
