The posters feature images including a sniffer dog searching a man and slogans such as "Don't be tempted to put your loved ones under pressure to traffick drugs."
It is hoped the posters will be alternated and sent to other jails, including the high security Whitemoor Prison in March and Chelmsford Prison.
