The criminals who want to get caught so they can 'run a business' in prison

It's one of the toughest jobs prisons face. How do you stop banned items such as drugs and mobile phones being smuggled inside?

"Every prison will have issue with illicit articles, but it's greater in the local prisons," Ms Durning said. "The extent of conveyance into prisons is huge." Letters to inmates are also soaked in drugs, often psychoactive substances such as Spice. The paper is then crumbled up and smoked, or soaked in water to extract the drugs, Ms Durning said.

Another method being deployed involves criminals - especially those facing short term sentences - deliberately breaching the terms of their parole in order to get sent back to jail so they can smuggle drugs in. Anyone suspected of attempting to smuggle is banned from visiting, and inmates can be forced to receive visitors behind a Perspex screen.
