Prisoners of Bullingdon jail lose their skunk cannabis because the drone crashed

It was pure bad luck for prisoners of Bullingdon jail in Bicester, Oxfordshire, when they lost their dose of cannabis because the drone that was carrying them crashed in the jail's exercise yard. The cannabis was super-strength skunk cannabis. The drone was also carrying mobile phones and chargers and had been sent in by someone who was controlling it from outside.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 19 December 2015.

The prisoners had apparently ordered the illicit goods in time for Christmas and the drone was in a part of the jail where there was no CCTV. It was a well-planned operation.
Drones have now become a major security issue because thir frequency of operation has increased and this was not the first time that a drone has been used to smuggle illicit items into a prison. Last month prison staff found a drone, which had crashed into Strangeways prison yard, carrying a parcel stuffed with illicit items.
The Ministry of Justice is trying to introduce legislation to make it illegal to land a drone in prison or to use a drone to drop in psychoactive substances such as 'legal highs'. Anyone who makes use of drones in an attempt to get contraband into prisons can be punished with a sentence of up to two years.
The Department for Transport has also warned that parents who buy their children a drone for Christmas may have to register it with the authorities in the future and ministers are preparing a major crackdown on the use of drones amid growing fears about safety and privacy.
It may be recalled that four drones had been involved in near misses with commercial aircraft at British airports during a single month this summer.
