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:
