THE Scottish Government plans to release more than 500 prisoners early to ease overcrowding, it has announced.
Regulations have been laid at the Scottish Parliament, which, if agreed, current modelling indicates around 550 eligible prisoners will be released in four waves from the end of June.
Scotland has 15 prisons in total, with an estimated capacity of 7725, according to the World Prison Brief database. This means that Scotland’s prisons are currently at 97.4% capacity. “This rise of around 400 prisoners over the last two months is significant and could not have been anticipated, and it cannot be ignored, it is also similar to challenges faced across the UK.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
