Talking about drug-free wings and rehabilitation, and not taking such a hard line on soft drugs: has the world gone mad? Surely, the whole system should be closed down and started afresh, under new management and staff, if it has reached the point that drugs are so freely available that an addict can maintain his habit, or, worse, someone can go into prison who is not a drug taker and come out an addict. How can there be any drugs whatsoever in a prison? Where are they getting them from? David Gibbon Mayfield Road, Edinburgh - --- Checked-by: Melodi Cornett
