Prison Liaison Visit

COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Liaison Visits - Scottish Prisons – May 2020-2021 - Summary Report

This report was withheld until the two return visits with our inspection partners to HMPs Edinburgh and Addiewell were completed. The first Liaison Visits to these establishments were part of a pilot of the new COVID-19 Scrutiny Framework and identified that our inspection partners needed to be included as an essential component.

This report should therefore be read in conjunction with the recent HMP Addiewell and Edinburgh reports.
