Q&A: Drugs in prisons & who should pay for policing football?
About this episode
Andy and Neil discuss drugs in prisons, the cost of policing football, illegal children's care homes, and the police recruitment crisis.
In this week’s Q&A episode, Andy & Neil tackle the issue of drugs in prisons. How do so many drugs get in, are corrupt guards to blame, and would using sniffer dogs inside jails make a difference? They also debate whether it’s time for football clubs to contribute more towards the cost of policing matches - it currently costs the police over £70m every year in England alone. Plus they discuss how to spot an illegal children’s care home, and whether there’s a solution to the police recruitment crisis. Have a question for a future Q&A?
