A league table will be introduced to hold prison governors to account for keeping drugs out of jails and keeping prisoners off them for good under new plans announced by the government.
The results, which would be published in national league tables, would cover a prison's success in getting criminals off drugs and alcohol and into employment or education on release.
X-ray body scanners have already been installed at every closed male prison to allow staff to identify whether prisoners are smuggling contraband inside their bodies. The"airport-style" measures would be installed in all new prisons, including HMP Five Wells in Wellingborough, opening in early 2022, the new prison in Glen Parva in Leicestershire, the new prison next to HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire, and three others yet to be confirmed.
Justice Secretary Dominic Raab added that extra prison places are being built so serious offenders will be incarcerated for longer and the new plan will"improve the security of our jails".
