There are 29 prisoners currently following drug rehabilitation programmes, Home Affairs Minister Tonio Borg said yesterday.

Replying to a Parliamentary question by Labour MP Carmelo Abela, he said that none of the prisoners in preventive arrest were attending such courses. He said that there were 11 prisoners receiving methadone in prison.

Replying to another question by Mr Abela, Dr Borg said that the prison authorities were on a constant lookout for drugs in the prison. Such controls bore fruit as could be seen from the results obtained and the persons arraigned.
