In Wheatfield, up to the time of our visit, I think there had been 26 arrests in relation to various forms of attempting to get contraband into just that prison.
So, yeah, you will be seeing now, I guess, in the coming months,
And further on, actual court cases, there has been a couple so far.
Mainly charges, but you'll be seeing plenty more, I get the feeling.
Like the guard operation is quite significant.
It's been run out of Roninstown Guard Station, which is a local guard station, far Wheatfield, and also Clover Hill Prison is beside it, the Remand Prison, which is also suffering from the same, exact same difficulties.
So they have an intelligence-led operation and I think there was a particular focus on it in the last two months, but it was a significant amount of arrests and also arrests of some significant people as well that we'll be covering.
make improvements on you're never going to get to a situation where nothing is ever smuggled into any prison but they do believe that while the technology gets ahead of them that they are they can catch up oh yes they believe it's actually one of the governors Tony Harris said it's a battle that he's confident in fact that they will win yeah what he says he said something to the effect of that if I'm back in
Wheatfield in two years time he would be hoping the story would be that there hadn't been a drone incursion into the jail for many months before but we'll have to see well and hopefully you're back in not back in Wheatfield in any other context other than visiting Kent but it is possible yes anything's possible
