DRUGS are still “widely available” to inmates at a Nottinghamshire prison, with drones dropping packages of contraband, an inspection has found.

The unmanned aircraft remain the biggest risk to order and control at HMP Ranby, a Category C prison located near Retford, according to the latest report by the Inspectorate of Prisons.

At the last visit, inspectors said a quarter of the site’s 1,000 inmates had developed a drug or alcohol problem whilst at the facility. They urged leaders to tackle substance abuse issues as an urgent priority.
