- Highlights • Some Danish prison officers tend to turn a blind eye towards inmates’ drug use. • Being lenient towards inmates’ drug use (mainly cannabis) is part of prison officers’ everyday discretionary power. • Discretion continues to play an important role in the prison officers’ everyday work. • Officers’ discretion depends on changes in the institutional arrangement of the prison.
