Prisons: Drug-testing
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the mandatory drug testing rates were for each residential unit at HM Prison Pentonville in each of the last 18 months; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 18 December 2006]: Reliable comparison of mandatory drug testing data can only be made at prison level and above. Where data is available at wing level, this is insufficiently robust to allow meaningful comparison. The random mandatory drug testing level reported by HMP Pentonville in 2005-06 was 18.3 per cent.
