Six-month trial period sees specialist devices introduced
Midway through a trial period for e-cigarettes at Isle of Man Prison and it appears the measure is having a positive effect.
The specialist devices - which are tamper proof - are issued with a unique index number so inmates are unable to swap them.
It was reported prisoners were smoking substances such as banana peel, tea bag, and, in some cases, hair, before the e-cigarettes were brought in.
Prison Governor Bob McColm says changes in behaviour of inmates is being monitored closely:
Safeguarding Board highlights progress on adult protection but warns of gaps in support for vulnerable children
Information Commissioner orders FSA to reconsider FOI response on staffing and pay
Waiting time for driving tests considerably lower in the Isle of Man than UK
Mountain Road closure extended until Thursday
