Support to access virtual prison visits now available from Prison Visitor Centres across Scotland

From Monday 19 th July, families with a loved one in a Scottish prison can get support to access a video (‘virtual’) prison visit from prison visitor centres.

Independent charities running prison visitors’ centres are offering support to families to get online, book a virtual visit, and take part in a virtual visit to see their family member. They can also offer support for families on wider issues related to their family member’s imprisonment.

Virtual prison visits were launched by the Scottish Prison Service in July 2020 to help families stay in contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Until now, families without access to the internet at home, or those without access to digital devices, have been unable to take up virtual visits. Some children with a parent in prison haven’t seen them now for over a year, though traditional in-person visits have gradually been reintroduced in recent months.

This new service will help to improve access to virtual prison visits by allowing a family to take part in a virtual prison visit from their nearest prison visitor centre, where laptops and technical support are now available. Visitor centre staff will also be on hand to provide digital support. For families who live a long way from the prison where their loved one is held, virtual visits help families to keep in touch regularly, without the hassle and expense of a long journey. People in prison who maintain positive family contact throughout their time in prison are much less likely to reoffend following release than those who lose contact. Supporting children to maintain contact with their parent in prison supports their rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) to maintain a relationship with both of their parents, wherever that is in their best interests.

This new service was funded by a grant from the Scottish Government’s Winter Support Fund. The grant covered the cost of digital devices for organisations that work with children and families who are affected by imprisonment in Scotland.

Chief Executive of Families Outside and Vice-Chair of the National Prison Visitor Centre Steering Group, Professor Nancy Loucks said, “Family contact for children and families who are affected by imprisonment in Scotland has been severely disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The introduction of virtual visits was hugely welcome, however, it has been recognised that there are barriers to access, and a number of families have still struggled to access prison visits.

“This new service available to families at Visitors’ Centres will help to increase access to virtual prison visits. The pandemic is far from over, and we are aware that a number of families with a loved one in prison are still apprehensive of travelling on public transport for long distances. However, family contact improves outcomes for both those in prison and their families, reinforcing the importance of widening access to virtual prison visits in both the short- and long-term.”

Families with a loved one in prison can book a virtual prison visit slot at their closest prison visitor centre by calling the centre directly using the telephone numbers below:

Inside Scotland's biggest jail: 'About 90% of the guys in my halls are on drugs'

Inside Barlinnie: ITV News Scotland Correspondent Peter Smith goes inside Scotland's biggest prison and given exclusive access to how it's tackling the problem of inmates struggling with addiction

Barlinnie is Scotland’s biggest, oldest, and toughest prison .

Going inside those foreboding Victorian brick walls in the north of Glasgow is a daunting prospect for anyone convicted, but ITV News gained exclusive access as part of our ongoing investigation into Scotland’s drug death crisis .

Scotland has the worst drug death record in Europe, and one of the highest levels of incarceration in Europe. The two are inextricably related.

Peter Smith asks First Minister Nicola Sturgeon about ITV's discoveries

We have learned the majority of inmates in Barlinnie are in a revolving door of addiction, crime and incarceration, that too often takes them one of only two ways: in and out of prison, or to an early grave.

Barlinnie's governor, Michael Stoney, is constantly battling overcrowding, and we wanted to know how many are inside because of, or relating to, their addiction problems.

“About 80%,” he told me. “It’s important for people to understand that Scotland has a particular problem.”

Right away the atmosphere in the cell halls hits you: eerily calm, yet constantly tense. A pressure cooker that feels like it’s simmering and could boil over if something, somewhere goes wrong.

“About 90% of the guys in my halls are on drugs,” one prisoner, Steven Telford, tells me. 

He previously served a sentence for murder, and tells us is now back behind bars for assault and refusing a breath test while he was under the influence. 

“People go around punching people randomly. It can be a scary place.”

That’s what the governor and his prison staff are up against - trying to keep a lid on that pressure cooker, and trying to keep out the drugs that set people off.

“We try,” says one prison officer who wants to remain anonymous. 

He shows me various ways they have succeeded in intercepting drugs being smuggled in: hidden in the soles of trainers; hidden in letters soaked in drugs then posted to the inmates, disguised as legal letters so they cannot be opened. 

“Every time we detect something and stop it, there’s another system in play.”

We learn that prisoners have now been handed a new way of getting drugs in. 

During the pandemic, about 7,600 inmates in Scotland were issued with their very own mobile phone. 

Previously mobiles were strictly defined as contraband, but the Scottish Government, along with the Scottish Prison Service, spent around £2.7m on the handsets and setting up networks to compensate for prisoners having reduced contact with family through lockdown.

They were supposed to be tamper-proof, but we learned some of the phones were hacked “within minutes” and many now operate with illegal SIM cards, allowing some inmates to make illicit calls to run drug deals or smuggling operations from inside their cell.

The scale of this is not known exactly but one prison officer, John McTavish, gives us an idea.

“I did a check of the phones in one of the phones around March time,” he says. “Of the 300 prisoners that were there, probably around 100 phones were tampered with altogether.”

The truth is, all prisons are constantly struggling to tackle the supply of drugs, and that cat-and-mouse game of keeping up with the organised crime gangs takes up a lot of resources. 

That’s why Barlinnie prison officers are now focusing more energy than ever before on reducing the demand - treating the addiction while they have a captive audience in here.

If they can get prisoners off drugs then they believe there will be fewer problems with the supply, and it puts prisoners in a better place before being released.

A Recovery Cafe has been invited in to be delivered by an outside charity called Sisco. It is run by Natalie Logan, a volunteer, and operates with one condition: no prison officers are allowed in the room.

That’s potentially high-risk, and when the door closes and the last warden leaves the room, I found out from Natalie why this is so important.

“If they openly discuss using drugs or having violent thoughts that can go against them,” she told me. “They might not get parole or they might get in trouble. So it’s so important they feel this is a safe space.”

In the group, inmates talk each other through recovery and prison life. 

Left alone with the inmates, we hear the majority have a familiar path - childhood in care or surrounded by violence and addiction - an adult life in and out of prison.

“There’s been times when I’ve hated myself,” inmate Steven Telford tells us. “I’ve beat myself up but now I’m in a place, probably through this Recovery Cafe and sharing my experiences, where I’m starting to enjoy my own company.

“I’m proud that I can say no to drugs.”

This recovery work in Barlinnie is getting inmates to a better place - drug free, looking for a life away from crime.

The benefits of offering this can also be measured in brass tacks given imprisonment costs the public on average £35,000 per inmate per year.

But there is one problem we keep hearing again and again - they can leave prison drug free, only to be housed into hostels surrounded by drugs.

 “If I left prison to my own temporary furnished flat instead of a hostel, I would flourish and I would not come back to prison,” prisoner Derek Hobbs tells us.

He is inside for a Covid assault on a police officer, sentenced to 27 months. It is a crime he says he would not have committed if he weren’t under the influence. 

He has been in prison “14 or 15 times” from the age of 16.

“It’s the fact that every time I get let out, I am either homeless on the streets or in a hostel. When you’re in they environments you’re surrounded by drink and drugs.

“That’s where I have relapsed every singe time.”

Ultimately this recovery programme inside Barlinnie can’t force prisoners to make the right decisions but the mission is giving people ways to cope with what awaits them on the outside.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem defends her account of killing own dog in new book

South Dakota governor and Republican vice presidential contender Kristi Noem on Friday responded to a news report about a section of her forthcoming book where she describes killing her 14-month-old dog.

“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” she said in a post to X above a headline from The Guardian , which obtained a copy of Noem's upcoming book, “No Going Back.”

South Dakota Govv. Kristi Noem speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas on July 11, 2021.

The Guardian's article describes a section of Noem's book, set for release next month, in which she recounted shooting her dog after deciding it was “less than worthless” and “untrainable.”

In her account, Noem grabbed her gun and led the dog, named Cricket, to a gravel pit.

“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done,” Noem wrote.

She then went on to kill a family goat, which she called “nasty and mean.” Noem also led the goat to a gravel pit, where she said her first shot wounded but did not kill the animal. She got another shell for her gun and killed the goat, according to the book.

Noem wrote that her daughter seemed confused when she came home from school, asking, “Hey, where's Cricket?”

NBC News has not obtained Noem's book or independently verified the section reported by The Guardian.

Noem was lambasted Friday on social media; some said they were “ horrified ,” while others posted pictures of their dogs .

The Biden campaign p osted p hotos of the president walking with the family dog Commander, who has had numerous biting incidents , and Vice President Kamala Harris cuddling a dog.

Noem is widely viewed as a top contender to be Trump's running mate. She is in her second term as South Dakota governor, and she previously served as the state's lone representative in the U.S. House.

Who is Rhona Graff, Trump’s Former Assistant Who Is Testifying Against Him?

Few people knew Donald J. Trump like Ms. Graff, a Queens native who made a career serving the defendant.

Rhona Graff in a dark coat.

By Matthew Haag

  • April 26, 2024

For decades, few people had access to Donald J. Trump like Rhona Graff. Now, Ms. Graff, his former personal assistant at the Trump Organization, became the second person to testify against Mr. Trump in his criminal trial in Lower Manhattan.

At Trump Tower, Ms. Graff served as Mr. Trump’s gatekeeper . She had an office right outside his door, placing her within earshot of Mr. Trump’s requests to get someone on the phone. And when someone wanted to reach Mr. Trump, they first had to go through Ms. Graff, often requiring a secret code to be put through.

“Everybody knows in order to get through to him,” she once said, “they have to go through me.”

Prosecutors on Friday spent about 15 minutes questioning Ms. Graff before Mr. Trump’s legal team started cross-examination, which also was short.

Asked about her role at the Trump Organization, Ms. Graff told prosecutors that she compiled records that included emails, contact lists and calendar entries. She said the company’s directory had contact information for Karen McDougal and a “Stormy.”

Ms. McDougal is a former Playboy model who has claimed to have had sex with Mr. Trump. Stormy appears to be a reference to Stormy Daniels, who has also claimed to have had an affair and whose hush-money payment is central to the criminal case against Mr. Trump.

Ms. Graff testified that, even though she left the Trump Organization and was testifying in the trial, the organization was paying her legal fees.

Under questioning by a Trump lawyer, she spoke glowingly about her time working for the former president, calling him “fair” as a boss — eliciting a smile from Mr. Trump in the courtroom. She also spoke fondly about Mr. Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” adding that it helped him achieve “rock-star status.”

Ms. Graff heard about a job opening in 1987 at the Trump Organization and cold-called to get the position. The job appeared to raise her profile. Six years later, Ms. Graff’s wedding announcement was published in The New York Times. She married Lucius Joseph Riccio, the city’s commissioner of transportation, in a wedding officiated by Mayor David N. Dinkins.

The roles in which she served for Mr. Trump extended far beyond being his assistant, as reflected in her title: senior vice president. She acted as Mr. Trump’s media liaison, scheduler, sometimes spokeswoman, fund-raising planner, co-star on “The Apprentice” and as a Miss Teen USA judge.

Ms. Graff continued her service during his 2016 presidential campaign and after Mr. Trump moved into the White House.
