Ok this is the hopeless G4S but really the public sector is no better.

We can, but daft gove rnment priorities to cost mean it's being hived out to inadequate lowest bidders.

A slammer is a gaol.

Eh?
Ah yes, I remember my first alcoholic drink as well....

Gaol/Jail is for holding short term, prison is where you go long term to serve your sentence.

Might be getting mixed up with American terms there O-G
Jail and prison are synonymous in the UK. Gaol is old English for the same.

[Old_Geezer]

But I looked it up especially !

[THECORBYLOON]

I've just looked up gaol in Chambers Dictionary and it means a prison.

Why don’t they cover said prisons with wire mesh to stop the drone deliveries and the throwing across the wall of contraband and things?

Costly I know but it would surely. E effective.

[cassa333]

Because they outsourced it. TBF private firm or gov body it would be the same.

A curtain amount of contraband is ‘allowed’ to keep the prison population under control. It is the control that has broken down.

Overcompensating human rights

Gaol/jail prison are synonymous terms with no difference in meaning. Slammer is a US term as is Can. Other British terms include HM Guesthouse.
