DRUG POLICY
HMP Rye Hill in partnership with the Prison Service is committed to
the Government's Strategy of 'Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain'.
The four aims of the Government Strategy
are to:
- Help young people resist drug misuse in order to
achieve their full potential;
- To protect our communities from drug-related antisocial and
criminal behaviour;
- To enable people with drug problems to overcome them and live
healthy crime-free lives;
- To stifle the availability of illegal drugs on our streets.
This will be achieved by adopting a four-point
strategy:
- Reducing the supply of illegal drugs in prison
- Reduction of the demand for illegal drugs
- Provision of clinical treatment options and
education on health related issues
- Delivery of a Counselling Assessment Referral Advice and Throughcare
(CARAT) service
The Drug Strategy Team (DST) will monitor the work. The DST will
also collate information in relation to training needs of staff and
assessment of resources. |
