The move comes after a shock study published in February found four people die in state custody in Scotland every week. The trial is taking place in three prisons across the country.
HMP Barlinnie is one of three prisons across Scotland which are set to trial staff body cams amid a rise in inmate deaths.
The families of the 21-year-old and 16-year-old, who died four months apart, believe the pair lost their lives due to severe failings in the duty of care from prison officers. An SPS spokesman said: “The health and wellbeing of our staff and those in our care, and the safety, security, and good order of our establishments, are key priorities.“This pilot, across three of our establishments, will aim to support those priorities, while also promoting transparency, trust, and good relationships, and acting as a deterrent against criminality and rule breaches.”
“Our colleagues in other jurisdictions have previous experience of using the cameras and the feedback we have from them is fairly positive in terms of seeing a reduction in false complaints about staff, and of the images being useful in prosecuting incidents post-event."
