You'd have to take that up with them.
Yes and it is a good idea but so's the idea of preventing the use of mobile phones etc. in our prisons - especially the high security ones. It'd have been even better, however, if these people hadn't been allowed to do it right under the noses of Jack Straw and the prison authorities in the first place wouldn't you say? Hence the reason for the OP and the subject and this thread dedicated to New Labour's tough talking and abject failure to deliver on so many of their promises.
