Scotland's Prisons Violate UN Standards

Scotland's Prisons Violate UN Standards

Published 9 hours ago
Description

Scotland’s prisons are now openly violating the UN’s Nelson Mandela rules, with overcrowding forcing inmates to choose between basic needs like fresh air, medication, and meals. Cells designed for one person now hold two, turning facilities into dehumanizing segregation units. The chief inspector confirmed the breaches, while the Justice Secretary admits the crisis and vows to tackle it through population reduction and capacity expansion, guided by an independent commission.
