<p>The attached table shows all drug finds by type since 2010. The data is not recorded
in a way that allows direct comparison with Schedules of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
Drug finds in prisons are recorded in broad categories of drug type, which would not
take into account any differences in classifications for drugs of a similar type.</p><p>
</p><p>Data on the weight of drugs found has been available since October 2015, when
an enhanced reporting system was introduced. This enabled the selection of psychoactive
substances categories. Please note that the data records the weight of all drugs found
in an incident, but not separately for each individual drug type.</p>
