Clothes parcels BANNED after Styal prison inmates 'smoke spice-soaked bras and knickers'

Inmates at a women's prison near Manchester have been rumbled after smoking lingerie infused with drugs. Prisoners at Styal arranged for friends to sneak in clothes parcels with bras and knickers that were soaked in a liquid form of spice.

The garments were then ripped into pieces before being smoked by the prisoners, until jail bosses clocked onto the scheme, the Mirror reports. The prison has now banned clothes parcels from entering the Cheshire prison - in a move which is proving unpopular among inmates.

A source at HMP Styal told the Mirror: “You couldn’t make it up. It’s like something from the TV series Bad Girls.”
