Exciting week ahead! Meeting with a young film maker to discuss our documentary into the Scottish prison system. A meeting with an MP and a bail review we’ve pushed for is taking place on Thursday.
Get in touch if you want to contribute. PWS

After one of our members spent 4 weeks on Remand recently, we are calling for an urgent review into the running of the Remand wing (Glenesk). We are encouraging prisoners and staff alike to write to us at [email protected] or to send us a message on facebook

#scottishgovernment #prisoners #rightovote great news today, but it’s just a start

Seems our concerns about privately run jails were well founded. Cutting corners to save money? https://t.co/3I9SHduSeB #hmpkilmarnock #covid #jails #prison

@SPSistheCon 8 weeks! They’re pretty quick at relocating humans, but less so issuing a mobile phone....

Had further correspondence with Tommy Sheppard regarding the drug death crisis in Scotland. Prison Watch Scotland is looking for willing contributors- ex addicts to get involved in the discussion around dealing with our national problem #TommySheppard

[SPS is criminal @SPSistheCon]

This was not the punishment they were sentenced too. This is inhuman, 23hrs a day locked up, ALL education and courses stopped for the last year. No one is progressing, no one is being rehabilitated. No visits and a packet of biscuits to keep the peace https://t.co/pmryjMZCNs

Well it happened, one of my participants called to tell me the new job he got 2 weeks ago was “eliminated & moving in a different direction”..
For those who don’t know, this is code for “we don’t want criminals working here.” He’s heartbroken. A min wage job taken away 😢

[Prison Watch Scotland @prison_watch]

@ThoughtasWeak Know that feeling well. Let him know there’s plenty people who do believe in him. Are you conducting a study of some kind? Interested to hear.
