The Department of the Interior and Local Government on Wednesday said Secretary Benhur Abalos vowed to conduct surprise drug tests in jails being managed by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).

In a statement, the DILG said Abalos made the warning in light of reports that big-time drug lords are allegedly operating inside the prisons.

Abalos said drug lords were able to operate inside prisons because they have communication and contacts outside. Thus, he recommended the use of signal jammers to cut their communication. Abalos eyes for medical screening and physical exams prior to the admission considering the possible spread of diseases in congested cells.
