NCT Watch

Johann Lamont SMP this week noted the case of her constituent, a seven month pregnant prisoner in Cornton Vale, who was shackled to a Reliance officer while attending Stirling Royal infirmary for in-patient and out-patient appointments.  She asked the Deputy First Minister to outline her Administration’s position on the handcuffing of pregnant prisoners and what action she is taking to address the matter with Reliance, the Scottish Prison Service and health boards.
