    Really interesting article about prison guards in Denmark turning a blind eye to cannabis use because it helps keep everbody mellow. The guards' overall attitude is pretty mellow.


    Got this article from MN NORML on my FB newsfeed. Lots of good articles from them.

    Prison guards often turn a blind eye to cannabis smoking, because stopping inmates from smoking creates turmoil in prisons and can damage rehabilitation, says new Danish study.

    Hank its not uncommon.Barlinnie HMP in Glasgow,having had riots in the 80's,learned that a TV in a cell and a blind eye at night to the smell of weed keeps a hall happy:wink:They will spin your cell in a second if their scanners detect mobile phones or if they think you have addictive drugs and shit,even if they think you running a shop with all your surplus canteen.But the one thing they dont give a shit about is weed.I was blatantly caught toking more than once as a trustee passman and it was ignored.A stoned jail is a chilled jail.The biggest thing jails done in the UK is a TV in a cell with sky sports and all the satellite plus a dvd channel.Aint been a riot in Barlinnie since:bigok:
