§ 54. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many prisons for male and female prisoners, respectively, there are in Scotland; how many prisoners of each sex there are in each; and how they are accommodated and segregated for residence and exercise, respectively.
§ Mr. RossThere are nine prisons in Scotland. I am circulating details of the numbers of prisoners in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Only one prison, at Greenock, receives convicted women, but five others have small units for untried women. The accommodation for women is entirely separate, and they are exercised out of the sight of male prisoners.
