JAIL bosses will wash all pants sent to cons in a bid to smash the drugs trade behind bars.

And they are even testing which brand of soap powder is best for blitzing illicit drugs soaked into underwear sent to lags.

Prisoners' pals have been infusing narcotics into clothes, especially pants, which are then smuggled inside, cut up and smoked in cells. They previously soaked the substances into letters.

Now, experts have been drafted in to combat novel psychoactive substances, including super-strength Spice.
