Drug use rife at Country's biggest prison

Ministers are being accused of hiding the scale of drug use at Wandsworth prison.

A report by the Independent Monitoring Board says there is a fertile drugs market worth more than a million pounds at the jail.

It warns that many illegal substances are readily available to inmates and are fuelling gang violence.

The report blames corrupt prison officers for smuggling the drugs in and poor detection tests.

It also blames ministers for ignoring calls to introduce a mobile phone jamming system that would help put an end to smuggling.

What exactly is E Coli?

Following the outbreak of Ecoli poisoning at a petting farm in Godstone, we have this definition of the bacteria and what it does.

Escherichia coli, is a Gram negative bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms). Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some, such as serotype O157:H7, can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for costly product recalls.

The harmless strains are part of the normal flora of the gut, and can benefit their hosts by producing vitamin K2, or by preventing the establishment of pathogenic bacteria within the intestine.

Have you been affected by the recent outbreak? If so please contact [email protected] with your story.
