If you've ever wondered what treats are popular with the incarcerated guests of the government, then wonder no longer — for a survey has revealed the top prison tuck shop favourites.
Twelve jails have responded to a survey that looks at the shopping habits of prisoners — and found that inmates liked to take a break with Toffypops and Lyons Tea, according to sales in the league of jailhouse tuck.
The figures became available after a new stock management and point-of-sale system was set up in every detention facility last year, at a cost of €170,565. For the first time it meant the spending habits of prisoners could be tracked.
