Family of young Scots woman who died behind bars slam prison service as deaths soar
The parents of Katie Allan have slammed the Scottish Prison Service after it emerged suicide rates have increased by 42 per cent since the introduction of a preventative scheme.
It compares to 98 deaths in Scottish prisons in the previous three full years. Authors of the report acknowledged the impact of covid, however said the rise in suicide and drugs fatalities had been the most significant. Linda said: "As with last year’s review, time and time again the Crown Office are not presenting systemic failures. From the narrow focus of individual cases where prisoners say they have no thoughts of self-harm and appear otherwise well to non-mental health professionals was sufficient for Sheriffs to conclude a person was at no risk of suicide, often despite many other markers of risk including previous attempts of suicide and recent life changing events.
The report by the same authors discovered that 90 per cent of cases Sheriff’s determined nothing could be done to prevent or foresee the prisoner’s death.
