All inmates giving up ciggies at the same time is a splendid idea. Perhaps when the prison service is fully privatised, Philip Morris could open a smoker's prison that doubles up as a tobacco factory. Cut down on wages and satiate prisoners' cravings.

An absurd policy, to enforce when 80% of inmates smoke. Because what prison needs is another bigger black market and more tension. What will happen is that smoking will continue. It'll just mean a cartel forming in each prison around smuggling in cigs and exploiting other prisoners (and possibly), and the occasional screw making being involved.

I don't have much sympathy. You're severely restricted where you can smoke (or not smoke in the case of e-cigs) as a person at liberty. Just allow them to smoke during outdoor breaks only. I also think all the black market excuses are a joke, as they're admitting they're crap at controlling not only what comes and goes from prison, but also their ablility to notice when someone is smoking. Regardless of where/how they got it. Optimistic as ever

Friend of mine used to work in a prison, he said the unofficial rule regarding drug use was 'if its not taking the piss, let it go' because it made for an easier life for the guards. The police generally are the same with people smoking weed in public. Its quite rare for them to actually arrest and charge someone for smoking a joint (its not worth the paperwork and hassle). In the US there is a very real problem with Prison guards actually being directly involved in the prison black markets.

It's part of Goves idea to teach the prisoners. In this case it will be cutting edge capitalism, part of the Economics curriculum. 'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'
