ScotGov: The living conditions in many of Scotland's prisons have been transformed, but all the good work is threatened by overcrowding and the relentless rise in prison numbers, according to the annual report of the Chief Inspector of Prisons.
Many prisoners are locked in their cells all day with nothing to do and no access to training to develop a skill to help with employment on release, so therefore their chances of re-offending are high.
The report assesses how well prisons are doing against HMCIP's 'Standards used in the Inspection of Prisons in Scotland'.
