Four out of five prisoners in Northern Ireland's high-security jail are on prescription drugs, the Assembly has been told.
Health minister Edwin Poots said 80% of those incarcerated in HMP Maghaberry near Lisburn were on medication.
Of those held at the medium to low security prison at Magilligan, Co Londonderry, 58% are on prescribed drugs while at the young offenders' centre and women's prison at Hydebank Wood in south Belfast the rate is 38%.
