UK. Prisons minister Rory Stewart: I'll resign if drugs and violence don't go down
Prisons minister Rory Stewart says he will resign in a year if he hasn't managed to reduce drugs and violence levels in 10 target jails in England.
He made the promise as the government announced £10m to improve security and conditions at the jails.
New body scanners and sniffer dogs are to be introduced in the prisons, which are described as "challenging", in a clampdown on drugs and mobile phones.(BBC, 17.08.2018)
