Slightly off our normal patch, but given the interest in interventionist drug incident management (i.e. testing and sniffer dogs) in schools at the moment I thought I’d bring this to your attention:
SCOTTISH prison chiefs are to scrap the compulsory drug testing of inmates after admitting it had failed to tackle rising heroin abuse behind bars.
You may remember that there was a review of drug testing in the English prisons recently, which seemed to suggest that random testing was not as effective as the service would wish; now it seems that in Scotland the testing regime is be scraped.
