Letter to the Editor:
Dear Editor,
in response to the article about the 'Minister confirming prison smoking ban' written on Monday 28th of June. I believe that removing cigarettes from prisons is a good idea. Prison is a place of punishment and the fact that a prisoner who has broken the law can smoke is not going to teach them a lesson, it will give them easy acces to cigarettes, therefore encouraging them to break the law.
Aleysha
