table 7.4 in the ‘Chapter 7 tables – Random mandatory drug testing’ link’.</p><p>

</p><p>These prisons are also part of the 10 Prisons Project which aims to reduce
violence in 10 of our most challenging prisons by reducing the supply of drugs; restoring
basic decency and providing the training and support for prison officers to challenge
the behaviour that drives violence. The project received an initial £10 million funding
to improve security and decency, and bolster leadership capability over a 12-month
period.</p>
