On the Isle of Man, inmates may soon be allowed to use e-cigarettes in prison, a choice that would save money and protect the prison population.
THE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE TO SAVE SAVINGS AND REDUCE THE USE OF ILLICIT PRODUCTS
But by the way, is it the Isle of Man? This territory is made up of a main island and a few islets located in the Irish Sea, in the center of the British Isles. The Isle of Man forms a dependency of the British Crown, meaning that the island does not belong to the United Kingdom or the European Union but is directly owned by the British sovereign.
The Home Affairs Department has asked for permission to implement this measure which would allow detainees to use disposable e-cigarettes in the Jurby prison facility. This measure is part of a risk reduction perspective for prisoners who currently smoke illicit substances and who poorly use the nicotine patches provided to them. This choice would also protect other inmates and staff from passive smoking.
The government also believes that electronic cigarettes could save around £ 15 a year on the cost of the nicotine patches that are currently provided to inmates. The Isle of Man prison had introduced in March 000, a smoking ban in the prison.
Despite this measure, prisoners will still be able to ask for help to quit smoking, but they will no longer be able to use patches once the project is installed.
