A Dorset prison has removed anti-bacterial hand gel pumps after an inmate is thought to have got drunk drinking from them.

The gel was made available on Monday at HMP The Verne in Portland to help combat the spread of swine flu.

But the Prison Officers Association (POA) said within hours there had been an incident with an intoxicated inmate.

The Prison Service said the pumps were removed as a "precautionary measure" and an investigation was under way.

It is believed the gel was mixed with a drink before it was consumed.

In March, Royal Bournemouth Hospital said it was one of many hospitals removing alcohol-based hand cleaning gel from reception areas in a bid to stop visitors drinking it.

Andy Fear, from the POA at The Verne, said: "We were informed of an incident within hours of the gel being available.

"In one of the wings it is believed an inmate was using it inappropriately.

"When you get something called alcohol gel you can see what is going to happen.

"We had concerns when we heard these were being given to inmates.

"You don't want drunk prisoners running around the prison."

A Prison Service spokesman added: "On 21 September a prisoner at HMP The Verne showed signs of intoxication, the cause of which will be investigated.

"Anti-bacterial gel pumps have been removed from the prison as a precautionary measure."

The BBC understands reports that there was a fight between inmates during the incident are incorrect.

This is sort of old news as they removed lots of them from hospitals as homeless people kept stealing them and drinking it, as its about 80% alcohol.

A group of friends and I tried that recently (we have access to lots of purell) seriously, these prisoners must really be desperate, because that stuff stings like a bee!
 
They took them out of some schools too because students were drinking them. It's ridiculous really.. Like, why would you do something retarded like that? I can't think of any reason why someone would be that desparate to get drunk, especially like, in class or jail..
