Her Majesty\u2019s Prison & Probation Service has been investigating and evaluating the risks of second-hand exposure to psychoactive substances to prison staff. A pilot programme was run at Holme House prison in 2018 which involved anonymous pre and post-shift sampling of 15 volunteers. 122 samples were tested, and no metabolites of synthetic cannabinoids were detected. On the advice of toxicologists from Public Health England, HMPPS subsequently embarked on a programme of post-incident testing in 10 prisons on the 1 March 2019. All samples require the consent of the member of staff. As of 7 June 2019, 28 members of staff have been offered testing post-incident, with 17 staff consenting and providing a sample.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> We are in the process of selecting 10 additional establishments to expand and accelerate the programme. The 10 prisons already included in the programme are HMPs Hewell, Ranby, Dartmoor, Holme House, Channing\u2019s Wood, Low Newton, Durham, The Mount, Wymott and Portland.<\/p>"}
