Prisoners have developed drug problems behind bars prompting a rise in violence at a jail, a report says.
One in five inmates have a drug habit they did not have before their jail term began at HMP/YOI Portland, HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) found.
It said violence was high against staff as well as inmates at the Dorset jail.
