Keeping drugs out of prisons is “impossible” due to massive demand from inmates, according to a boss at one of Scotland’s biggest jails.
Sean McFedries, head of operations at HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow, said that although “everything was being done” to prevent drugs being smuggled behind bars, it would still happen.
McFedries, who has held the post since 2018, also said “there is not a jail fix” for the issue. His comments emerged from a Fatal Accident Inquiry at Glasgow Sheriff Court over the death of James McCulloch, 27.
