EXCLUSIVE: New figures showed that a majority of prisons were overcrowded in the summer.
Scotland’s prisons are “bursting at the seams” with nearly 1,800 prisoners doubling up in cells built for one person.
Barlinnie will be replaced, but it was reported that a Government update on major infrastructure projects had deleted the timings and costs of the scheme. "The reason I and my predecessors have focused strongly on overcrowding is that it affects every part of the criminal justice system, in particular the risk to the community.
“To ease the mounting pressures on prisons, we would create a properly-funded justice system that can deliver robust and credible community sentences where appropriate. Tory MSP Russell Findlay said: “Dangerous overcrowding in Scotland’s jails is a direct result of the SNP’s failure to properly fund the prison service, build new establishments to deadline and tackle the court backlog.
