Disclosure: Prisons on the Brink
Reading time: 1 minute
With Scotland’s prisoner numbers approaching a record high, Lucy Adams investigates the impact of overcrowding, drugs and suicides on inmates and staff, and asks whether Scotland’s crumbling prison estate can cope much longer in Disclosure: Prisons on the Brink.
She meets families grieving the loss of their loved ones on the inside, and sheds new light on one of Scotland’s most high-profile deaths in custody.
And amid a rising tide of violence and the influence of organised crime, she goes inside one of Scotland’s largest prisons to witness first-hand a system on the brink.
Disclosure: Prisons on the Brink will be broadcast on 5 February on iPlayer and BBC One Scotland, 8.00 – 9.00 pm.
