Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prisons have a drug recovery wing.
As part of the ambitious cross-Government Drug Strategy, we are rolling out a wide range of interventions to support prisoners off drugs and into recovery. This includes testing a new approach to help prisoners with an opiate dependency achieve abstinence, with seven abstinence-focused Drug Recovery Wings in operation across the estate. Alongside this, we are increasing the number of Incentivised Substance-Free Living (ISFL) units, where prisoners commit to remaining free of illicit drugs with regular drug testing and incentives. We now have 68 ISFLs in operation (55% of prisons), and aim to reach up to 100 ISFLs by March 2025.
