Bid to speed up prison smoking ban

The Prison Officers Association (POA) is to launch a judicial review against the Prison Service to speed up an outright ban on smoking in prisons. It says an increase in the use of so-called legal highs is causing growing health problems for prison staff.

Victoria speaks to Steve Gillan from the Prison Officers' Association, former prisoners and smokers Andy Jackson and Kelly, and James Parker from the Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust.
