"We will not tolerate corruption or the supply of illegal items to prisoners and will continue to work closely in partnership to ensure anyone who breaks the strict rules in place in our prisons is brought to justice. “We would like to encourage members of staff working at prisons to report anyone they suspect are involved in corrupt activity, so that we can act on it immediately and put offenders before the courts."
