'Gun concealment' jeans: the disturbing new craze in our jails

'Gun concealment' jeans: the disturbing new craze in our jails | Mail Online: "Prisoners are wearing specially designed jeans imported from America which can conceal handguns and knives, according to leaked confidential documents.

Investigations into the riot’s ringleaders and the smuggling of contraband into prisons are ongoing. However, the security bulletins for September and October 2010 make clear that the problems are not unique to that institution."
