"The fight against drugs in prison"
22 May 2008

"Yet help is on hand, as Holme House is one of only five prisons in the
country to run a 12-month drug rehabilitation programme.
The Therapeutic Community course provides inmates with a chance to live
a life free of drugs.
One of the prisoners, who is serving a lengthy sentence for robbery and
firearms offences, admitted that he would always be a drug addict but
that the programme has given him a chance.
He said: "There are drugs in jail, let's not lie about it, but there are
people who genuinely want to stop taking drugs and I am a different
person to who I was."
