The idea of providing needles within prison makes no sense at all. Invariably what will happen is that the needles will be misused. They'll be used as weapons. Large numbers of needles will go missing. It will just create havoc; it will just create security problems within the facility. I don't think that's a good idea. I would think it would be a failure to try to introduce something like that into our prisons.
