Prisons inspector: Drones delivering weapons to prisoners

The Chief Inspector of Prisons says drones are being used to deliver drugs, mobile phones and weapons to "some of the riskiest men in the country", including terrorists and leaders of organised crime gangs.

Charlie Taylor adds that inspections at HMP Manchester and HMP Long Lartin found that "security systems weren't working properly" and packages were being sent to individual cells through broken windows or disguised as rubbish bags.
