Letter: Drug-Testing Machines

Hugh Robertson

Press & Journal, Aberdeen

Wednesday 21 Oct 1998

Sir, - The introduction of drug-testing machines in Shotts prison will have a number of effects. Since so many banknotes are contaminated, there will be a large number of false positives resulting in degrading searches of many innocent visitors.

There will also be a delay in visitors being cleared through to see their relatives. Considering the limited time allowed for visits, this is no minor matter.

Criminals always seem to manage to stay one step ahead and, in a couple of months, the business sections of the press will no doubt be writing about massive increases in profits of companies manufacturing surgical gloves.

How much money is going to be wasted on these machines?
