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.

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.

James Timpson@JamesTCobbler·
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.
Ministry of Justice@MoJGovUK

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.

High percentage of traumatised prisoners kept in traumatising conditions due to overcrowding. If they are not seriously mentally ill on the way in, they certainly will be on the way out. The great myth of rehabilitation and keeping society safe. Never under these conditions!

Two thirds of prisoners spending most of their days in their cells During 2023-24, @HMIPrisonsnews inspectors found more than two thirds of prisoners were spending most of their days in their cells with little to occupy them buff.ly/3ZHOq20

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…
