Prisoners to get clean needles - WTF?

Excuse me while I clean up the coffee table this morning after spewing my coffee whilst reading this gem
Needle exchange programmes in prisons and counsellors in police cells are being touted as solutions to drug use in jail
The Drug Foundation, no doubt we pay them heaps to thieve oxygen, want to introduce a clean needle program into prisons because
The fundamental principle should be that any health service available in the community should be available in prison
The reasoning behind the taxpayer having to provide such a service is
For some reason prisoners are able to get their hands on drugs
A better reason might be that Corrections is NOT doing its job in letting drugs get into the prisons in the first place. Just like they control cellphones.

The sooner the totally useless Minister is replaced along with the deadwood at the top of Corrections, we might actually get prisoners to serve their punishment inconvenient incarceration properly.
