While most people are warm & cozy at home, resting & spending time with family, don't forget people in #prison - stay connected or get in touch, remind them that you care & they haven't been forgotten.

The @SP_Justice Cttee commented on the positive impact of in cell mobiles based on evidence from @FamiliesOutside and @hmipscot in their Pre Budget Scrutiny Report 👉 https://t.co/rm2pxBaza2

[Adam Wilson @AdamWilsonFO]

Very disappointing to see @ScotTories calling for the immediate withdrawal of in cell telephony with no engagement with families affected by imprisonment across Scotland. In cell mobiles have been a life line for families.

[Scottish Conservatives @ScotTories]

The SNP's 'unhackable' phones - that cost the taxpayer £2.7 million - are being hacked by prisoners and used to deal drugs.

Instead of temporarily confiscating the handsets, they must be removed from Scotland's prisons immediately.

[Adam Wilson @AdamWilsonFO]

Understandable concerns have been raised over the last few months. @FamiliesOutside have stressed the overwhelming benefits of in cell telephony 👉 https://t.co/udJD6OtmzX
