Recommendation 197
197
Advanced drug detection technology is an essential prerequisite for preventing drug ingress
Conclusion
A major obstacle to tackling drug supply is the disparity in security equipment provision between prisons. The prisons that utilise drug detection technology demonstrate its profound and immediate impact on security. This confirms that investments in advanced detection machinery are not optional, but rather an essential prerequisite for consistently detecting and preventing the ingress of drugs. (Conclusion, Paragraph 119)
