Report on HM Prison Shotts

HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland 1998

14. RECOMMENDATIONS

For SPS HQ/Area Director

14.1 Consideration should be given to having the concept of the enhanced wages work parties as part of a national progression system (paragraph 6.44).

14.2 A review of the arrangements for life sentence prisoners progressing to the National Top End facilities should be undertaken with the aim of developing a national strategy for the management of such prisoners (paragraph 6.99).

14.3 There should be a strategic review of the SPS estate and clear selection and allocation criteria published to allow a more effective use to be made of a fixed amount of resources (paragraph 6.100).

For Area Director/Governor I/C

14.4 Steps should be taken to ensure that the proposed new local progression system is based on more meaningful and opportunity-based differentials (paragraph 3.14).

14.5 A senior Manager should be appointed locally to the full time post of Drugs Co-ordinator (paragraph 5.12).

14.6 The priority, facilities and resources for detoxification should more closely reflect the scale of the problem to be addressed (paragraph 5.18).

14.7 A separate Induction section should be created within one of the Residential Halls (paragraph 6.16).

14.8 The health centre should be re-sited in a more central area of the establishment and its facilities should be matched much more closely with current clinical needs (paragraph 8.5).
