Episode Details

Scottish Green Party candidate Kate Nevens is advocating for the complete abolition of prisons, sparking intense debate. She believes prisons harm health, fail at rehabilitation, and dont enhance public safety. Nevens, a charity worker, proposes alternatives like electronic tagging and community service. Critics, including Scottish Labour, SNP, Conservatives, and Reform UK, label her proposal as reckless, stupid, bonkers, insane, and dangerous extremism. The Green Party clarifies they view prisons as a last resort for violent crimes and aim to end mass incarceration, focusing on prevention and victim support. As Scotlands prison population reaches a record high, the prison abolition debate intensifies, challenging traditional views on crime and punishment.
