Re: The Home Office has settled out of court

They wouldn't be able to sue dealers because it was actually Methadone which the prisoners were denied. This is a controlled but not illegal prescription only drug and heroin substitute.

It beggars belief that this was settled out of court or even taken seriously in the first place. I'm sure that like smokers, most drug addicts would like to give up. This enforced cold turkey, although not pleasant by any stretch of the imagination, may be the best thing to have happened to these prisoners and IMO I think that they are taking advantage of our compensation culture by trying to cash in.
