Barlinnie bosses have warned it faces a “catastrophic failure” as a new prison has been delayed.
The governor of Scotland’s largest prison has raised concerns as the completion date for the 140-year-old jail’s replacement has been pushed back.

Mr Stoney also highlighted issues with the prison’s ability to prevent strong drugs being smuggled in, keeping enemy prisoners separate, and staff assaults.
