Prisoners 'smoke lingerie soaked in Spice' like something from TV show 'Bad Girls'

Prisoners in a women's only jail have been reportedly 'smoking' lingerie soaked in the synthetic drug spice after smuggling it in parcels.

Inmates at HMP Styal in Cheshire, where many female criminals from Merseyside are incarcerated, have received parcels and letters containing underwear which has been soaked with the liquid form of Spice. The prisoners then reportedly ripped the kickers and bras into pieces to smoke, reports the Mirror.

Bosses at the prison soon found out about the drug-smuggling tactic and have since banned parcels containing clothes. This in turn has led to complaints from other inmates who have long complained underwear issued by the prison is too tight.
