BRITAIN — Hundreds of mobile phones and SIM cards that had been smuggled in by inmates were confiscated at a Fylde coast prison last year.
Staff at HMP Kirkham seized more illegal phones last year than any other prison in the country.
The number of devices found, 488, was by far the highest recorded – almost 200 more than any other prison.
The figures, released following a written question raised in Parliament, follow a clampdown on contraband in prisons that has resulted in a rise in seizures nationally.
