Six-month trial period sees specialist devices introduced
Midway through a trial period for e-cigarettes at Isle of Man Prison and it appears the measure is having a positive effect.
The specialist devices - which are tamper proof - are issued with a unique index number so inmates are unable to swap them.
It was reported prisoners were smoking substances such as banana peel, tea bag, and, in some cases, hair, before the e-cigarettes were brought in.
Prison Governor Bob McColm says changes in behaviour of inmates is being monitored closely:
Winter Support Hub to help 'the hardest hit' in community
Ramsey biker competes 8,500 mile charity ride
GP surgeries to close for education session
MHKs should reflect 'generational change' when electing next chief minister
