Calls have been made to urgently review segregation systems in Scottish Prisons after an inspectorate's report found that they did more harm than good.
While praising the Scottish Prison Service and NHS's e fforts to meet the "complex needs" of segregated prisoners, the review found "difficult" and vulnerable prisoners should not merely be segregated, but should move "towards seriously confronting the systemic issues that have led to the overuse of SRUs, and the all-too-common failure of reintegration efforts".
Top news stories today The review identified several areas where improvements could be made to improve the wellbeing of segregated prisoners in Scotland."We found evidence of overuse and long detrimental segregation periods, and we found a lack of meaningful human contact, mental health support, meaningful activity and reintegration planning for segregated prisoners.
"There is, therefore, a pressing need to review current segregation systems and behaviour management strategies to address these concerns and find alternative options for managing the cohorts of prisoners who cannot function in mainstream accommodation."
