Drones deliver packages through windows as prisons 'saturated with contraband' 

Of 2,874 contraband seizures just 66 resulted in arrests, Prison Officers' Association figures show.

Prisons are being flooded with contraband including drugs, weapons, and mobile phones, with seizures of some items up by 1,374% and drones delivering packages directly in through prison windows.

Some prison officers are now concerned that guns could be smuggled in by organised crime gangs, while prisoners are sharing photos of large drug consignments on social media from within.
