<p>As part of the ambitious cross-Government Drug Strategy, we are rolling out a wide
range of interventions to support prisoners off drugs and into recovery. This includes
testing a new approach to help prisoners with an opiate dependency achieve abstinence,
through abstinence-focused Drug Recovery Wings. Seven of these are now open across
the estate. Alongside this, we are increasing the number of Incentivised Substance-Free
Living units, where prisoners commit to remaining free of illicit drugs with regular
drug testing and incentives. We have more than doubled the number of these from 25
last summer to 60 now, aiming to reach up to 100 by March 2025.</p>
