HMIPS warns of intensified problems with overcrowding, but also praises efforts to tackle Covid in prisons.
It said this "significant achievement by caring prison and health service teams" deserved greater recognition.
She said overcrowding, social isolation, ageing prisons, access to purposeful and rehabilitative activity, the backlog in offending behaviour work and access to consistent health remained "highly problematic". By the end of March this year, more than 7,300 people were in prison, despite aspirations for a population of 5,000. Some inmates reported problems accessing purposeful rehabilitative activity.
