| HM Inspectorate of Prisons in Scotland (HMIPS) – ‘Planned Failure’ – A Report on the Thematic Review of Prisoner Transport in Scotland
*Sent on behalf of HMIPS* HMIPS has published its report on the Thematic Review of Prisoner Transport in Scotland, which can be found here. The report examines the prisoner transport service further through the lens of respect and protection for human rights. It focusses on the impact of prisoner transport on people in custody and in some cases their families through a detailed examination of the way it has been experienced, by those who have used it, and how the SPS and partners have responded. Throughout the report case studies are highlighted, along with experience of the people in custody who spoke with us. When we heard about contingency planning actions taken, we have highlighted these throughout the report. Key findings and recommendations are put forward to suggest where improvements should be made or where fresh consideration could lead to new and better ways of delivering a more reliable and higher-quality prisoner transport service. |
