Updated on 10 April 2008
A former drug treatment policy advisor claims that an estimated £100m worth of drugs are being traded in UK prisons each year.
Huseyin Djemil, former head of drug treatment policy at the National Offender Management Service, told BBC Radio 4's The Investigation programme, that the prison service has not yet grasped the scale of the drugs market inside UK jails.
He estimated that in a worst case scenario, 20kg of drugs are being smuggled into prisons each week.
