The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) already deploys a comprehensive range of robust searching and security measures to detect items of contraband both at the point of entry to the prison and concealed within the prison. We do not tolerate drugs in prison and anyone caught with them will be punished and could face further prosecution.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The success of the strategy is illustrated by the reduction of drug misuse in prisons, as measured by the random Mandatory Drug Testing (MDT) programme, which has declined by 17.5 percentage points over the past 17 years, despite the fact that NOMS is testing for more drugs than previously. Positive rates were 7.8% in 2009/2010 and 6.9% in 2014/2015.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>NOMS is aware of the increase of the use of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) across the prison estate and there is a wide-ranging programme of work being undertaken to counteract NPS. This includes joint work with the Home Office on legislation to control most NPS substances and make it illegal to supply any NPS. This will allow prisons to press for the prosecution of those smuggling NPS into prisons. Additionally, work is underway to develop new drug tests to detect NPS substances, to strengthen perimeter defences, and to train drug dogs to detect NPS.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We have already made it a criminal offence to throw drugs and other items over prison walls and the government's proposed new legislation will further strengthen our powers. We have also included a clause within the Serious Crime Act, which will create an offence of throwing or projecting any item over a prison perimeter so that it lands in a prison<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We will continue to explore new methods of preventing drugs coming into prisons such as new generation body scanners. The first body scanner has been purchased and a programme of work is underway to assess the most effective way to deploy body scanners across the estate, based on experience of their use in an operational setting. NOMS will be supported in this by the Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology. <br><\/p>"}
