"It has become clear that the drugs which circulated in prisons

were mainly brought in by prisoners, and the number of staff involved is

very small," Mr. Garner said.

"However, due to the devious ways by which the drugs have been

coming into the institutions, it has led to the mistaken belief that all

these drugs were brought in by prisons staff. This, we now know, is not

true," he added.

Mr. Garner said the initial results of his determined effort to

prevent dangerous drugs getting into the Department's institutions are

obviously proving successful, and the long-term benefits should be rewarding.
