Individuals in our care at HMP Edinburgh have made a fantastic mud kitchen for the playground at nearby Stenhouse Primary School. With the support of Officer Craig, individuals have put their joinery skills to good use and are delighted to be giving back to their local community.
HMP Perth has become the first prison in Scotland to offer a civil engineering training programme for people in custody. Established by CECA Scotland, the Academy offers a direct pathway into the industry on release. Read more 👇 tinyurl.com/nyyrb3nk
Thank you so much for your support @BellRibeiroAddy
For over a decade, @TheClinkCharity has helped prisoners retrain in catering, upskilling them and reducing reoffending. With its flagship restaurant at HMP Brixton facing closure, I've written to @MoJGovUK urging them to give full and fair consideration to the renewal bid.
We were delighted to welcome Sky Sports in to HMP Low Moss, to highlight our partnership with @streetsoccerSCO. Through football, the prison programme builds confidence, improves wellbeing, and supports positive futures – both in custody and in the community.
A 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭-𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 feature as we went into Low Moss Prison to see how football is helping rehabilitate people. Working with @streetsoccerSCO, the programme helps those taking part gain a qualification, improve mental health, become less likely to reoffend and more ⤵️
Four young people from HMP & YOI Polmont have achieved their Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award, following an expedition held at HMP Dumfries. A huge thank you to staff at both establishments for giving the young people this opportunity. @DofE @NHSForthValley
A statement from The Clink Charity on the announcement of our HMP Styal restaurant closure on 31 July 2025. Read the full statement: loom.ly/gCGlFI4
"Having no job could send me back to prison - now I have a chance" STV highlight the training and employment opportunities available to people in custody in HMP Perth, including the @greeneking training kitchen and @dundee_angus landscaping academy. tinyurl.com/mry7dhxv
NEW REPORT: Citizens’ panel calls for comprehensive reform to sentencing in England and Wales The public wants a fair sentencing system that prioritises rehabilitation and keeps people safe, the panel findings suggest. prisonreformtrust.org.uk/citizens-panel…
Happy World Book Day 2025 from all of us at Storybook Dads! Over the past 22 years, we have recorded thousands of prisoners reading a story for their child from behind bars. #keepingfamiliesintouch #storytime #worldbookday2025
Bookbug sessions are now taking place in HMP Shotts! Children visiting their dads are now able to enjoy stories, songs and rhymes together in a welcoming and safe place with the support of @GBTshotts The chairs pictured were made by staff and prisoners within the establishment!
One of the best meetings on the job so far. I was really pleased today to Chair the first Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel today. We’ve convened this advisory panel of leading experts to provide robust, evidence-based insights to reduce and prevent demand for drugs and alcohol. We want people leaving the criminal justice system already on the road to recovery. This panel's work will be critical to our ambitions to reduce reoffending. More information to be published on the panel's work in due course.
Drugs drive almost half of crime. The Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel, led by @JamesTCobbler, tackles this head on. Our first meeting brings experts together to develop solutions that will make our streets safer.
Hear a powerful story from Scottish Sentencing Council victims expert, Lynn Burns, as she shares her experience following the murder of her son in our new video exploring what prison means for people given a custodial sentence. Watch full video here ➡️ bit.ly/3BJvt5c
“It is not a given that prison populations must always increase. Moreover, it is not necessarily true that society becomes less safe with fewer people in jail”. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
'Inside Barlinnie' is a 3-part series that explores the experiences of current and former staff & prisoners, as well as delving into a dark history of hangings, riots and escapes that have shaped the prison for over a century. A must see! Catch it on iplayer from tomorrow!

In August HMP Grampian hosted the 2024 #GameWithMumAndDad! These experiences are crucial to the development of strong family relationships and we are pleased this years event was received positively by those who took part! Read more 👉 familiesoutside.org.uk/game-with-mum-… @scottishprisons
We are proud to operate in a country where no child is sent to prison. The removal of children from Scotland's prisons is a historic milestone in the creation of a justice system rooted in care, compassion, and the protection of our most vulnerable. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
“Fundamentally, progression – which is the convicted prisoner’s journey through prison out to the community – is broken. The system is broken.” @hmipscot described rehabilitation in Scotland’s prisons as “not in a million years” sufficient. theguardian.com/society/articl…
No children or young people under the age of 18 are in prison in Scotland. A historic achievement. Removal of the last remaining children from Polmont - and the guarantee no Scottish child will be jailed again - is a fitting legacy for William Lindsay. heraldscotland.com/politics/24555…
