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:

Ideology overruling outcomes on HMP Kilmarnock nationalisation – Brian Whittle MSP

When we think of prisons, most of us rely on TV to have an idea of what they’re really like and, in most cases the fictional version isn’t the most accurate depiction. Over my years as an MSP, I’ve made fairly regular visits to HMP Kilmarnock, one of only two prisons in Scotland currently run under contract by a private sector firm. In the case of HMP Kilmarnock, it was built under a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and has been operated by Serco since 2002, when they bought the previous provider, on a 25-year contract which expires in March this year.

As long ago as 2019, the then Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf was pledging at a meeting of the Prison Officers Association that both HMP Kilmarnock, and HMP Addiewell (the other private prison in Scotland) would both be brought into public ownership when their contracts expired. Now, for Kilmarnock, that time is approaching rapidly, and the question being asked by Serco, the prison staff and many of my MSP colleagues is, why?

For the Scottish Government, the answer is obvious. “We have always maintained that prisons should be managed by the public sector and not run for profit by private companies. That is why private prisons will come into public ownership after their contracts expire.”

That’s a comment from a Scottish Government spokesperson in 2019, when the decision to nationalise HMP Kilmarnock was first announced, and it’s still the line taken today. No suggestion that the prison’s performance is worse than it’s publicly run counterparts. No indication that the taxpayer would save money if the prison was publicly owned. Just a flat statement that amounts to “Private = bad. Public = good.” If ever there was a more obvious example of ideology overruling outcomes by this Scottish Government, I’ve yet to see it.

The inherent belief in the superiority of public ownership has always been a theme for the Scottish Government and one that’s not always borne out by evidence. From Ferguson Marine to BiFab, to ScotRail to Prestwick Airport we see entities which could, and in my view should, be in the private sector, nationalised only to see their performance suffer and vast quantities of public money ploughed into them. I fear the same will be true for HMP Kilmarnock.

Unlike many of the other nationalised entities I mentioned above, HMP Kilmarnock is no failed business. Far from it, it is widely recognised by politicians of all colours, as having done excellent work. For years it has worked with various community organisations, such as Centrestage and Recovery Enterprises, bringing them into the prison and allowing them to work with prisoners before and after their release. The prison also supports the community more widely, with a contractual obligation to spend 10% of its revenue in the local area; a commitment which ends with the contract in March. And years before the Scottish Government spent millions trying to give prisoners access to mobile phones during the pandemic, HMP Kilmarnock had long since installed landlines in all its cells; an action which helped to reduce re-offending and improve the mental health of prisoners and something that Reform Scotland had been calling for.

It’s worth noting here too that the departure of Serco from the prison doesn’t come with a seamless transition for staff. The Scottish Prison Service has said it doesn’t pay Serco for the 56 body worn cameras used at the prison so when Serco goes, so do the cameras. That means the number of body worn cameras available across Scotland’s 17 prisons will drop from 84 to 28. At the same time, the in-house psychology, education and housekeeping staff currently on payroll will become sub-contractors, as will the prison’s 4 drug detection dogs.

Nor will the transfer save the public money. HMP Kilmarnock is one of the least expensive prisons in the UK to run at a cost of around £16m to the Scottish Government annually. It’s been reported that the nationalisation will increase costs by up to £5m and that because of differences in staff contracts, the prison may need to recruit dozens of extra officers. At the time of writing, there are also serious questions about when current Serco staff will be moved over to be paid at the same rate as their existing SPS counterparts, with suggestions the transition may be slowed to save money.

Perhaps most frustrating of all to me is the fact that Serco had previously offered to build a new block at the prison at no cost to the public, but this was summarily rejected by the Scottish Government. Considering the rising costs for new prisons in Inverness and Glasgow and the prison inspectorate reporting that 6 prisons providing accommodation for about 35% of our prison population are “ill-suited to a modern prison system”, that is a decision which verges on negligence.

To be clear, I am not advocating wholesale privatisation of everything that isn’t nailed down, but I reject this notion that the private sector has nothing to offer in the delivery of some services. This ideologically driven belief that public ownership, even if it costs more and the outcomes aren’t as good, must be the preferred route, is not only illogical, but also pretty clearly putting the political interest above the public interest.

While I recognise there are always going to be those who simply cannot abide the idea of any public service being delivered with a profit motive, first and foremost, governments must prioritise achieving the best outcomes. In prisons, that must be the protection of the public, reducing reoffending and rehabilitating prisoners. HMP Kilmarnock has achieved all of these outcomes, and it’s done so at a lower cost to the taxpayer than other prisons in Scotland, often by being well ahead of the Scottish Prison Service in its actions.

I know how easy it is for any debate on public vs private to end up with the hardliners on either side trading examples of each other’s failures or accusing the other of wanting to nationalise or privatise everything. However, to allow that to be the extent of the debate we have on this subject is letting the public down.

In recent weeks I’ve held a members debate in Holyrood about HMP Kilmarnock and asked the Justice Secretary directly what evidence was for the Scottish Government’s decision to nationalise the prison rather than re-tender the contract. On both occasions, she could cite nothing but the Scottish Government’s policy against prisons being run for profit. At a time when the Scottish Government is struggling to finance much needed improvements in the prisons it already operates, opting to spend more funds nationalising another which is working well risks looking more than a little self-indulgent.

The Scottish Government are constantly at pains to talk about how much budget pressure they are under, but at the same time, they’re intent on making this decision to spend more and very probably get less.

Privitisation is far from the solution to every problem, but I see no evidence to suggest that nationalisation of HMP Kilmarnock will solve any problem, even if it was clear what problem the SNP were trying to solve.

As the old saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Inspectors note 'good progress' at HMP Kilmarnock

• Published 7 October 2014

Prison inspectors have praised a jail for making "good progress" in meeting recommendations for improvements.

They made 10 recommendations after a visit to HMP Kilmarnock in 2011.

At a follow-up inspection in July they found that seven of these had been achieved and two partially achieved while one was no longer applicable.

The inspection team made an additional 11 recommendations. These include that all prisoners should have access to one hour in the open air every day.

David Strang, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, said: "It is clear from our inspection that good progress has been made by HMP Kilmarnock in the areas identified in the full inspection report."

'Good relationships'

He added: "A new director of HMP Kilmarnock had been appointed in the three months before the follow-up inspection, following the retirement of his predecessor.

"It is still early days but he has brought a fresh perspective to the leadership of the prison.

"In general, we observed good relationships between staff and prisoners. Most prisoners reported to us that they felt safe in HMP Kilmarnock."

The previous inspection report identified 40 action points, 25 of which have now been achieved, five partially achieved, seven have not been achieved and three are deemed no longer applicable.

The report noted that healthcare at the prison is provided to a good standard but that there remains a need to improve the medical facilities.

It said there is scope to improve communication and mutual understanding between the prison and NHS Ayrshire and Arran, and that the distribution of medication in the residential wings should be reviewed, particularly at the weekends.

Inspectors also found that a high number of prisoners are deemed medically unfit for work and that the processes associated with this should be reviewed.

One of the action points in the previous report was that prisoners should receive their full entitlement of one hour a day in the open air, but this did not always happen, with some receiving only 45 minutes.

'Good practice'

The follow-up report recommended that all prisoners should receive an hour in the open air and that the prison should ensure that the process for supervising prisoners at outside exercise is safe at all times.

Inspectors found that all 16 areas of good practice identified in the previous report are still in place and highlighted an additional six.

They noted good examples of engagement with families, through family days and the "email a prisoner service" which encourages family members, especially children, to maintain contact with their relative in prison.

The report also found improvements in the delivery of education and vocational training, in terms of both quantity and quality of qualifications.

HMP Kilmarnock, which opened in 1999, is a high-security prison with 500 cells and a maximum contract capacity of 692.

At the time of inspection 501 prisoners were being held, compared to 647 at the time of the full inspection.

It is operated by Serco under a 25-year contract issued by Scottish ministers to Kilmarnock Prison Service Limited.

Here’s some facts about Kilmarnock Prison

HMP Kilmarnock is a prison near Kilmarnock, East Ayshire. Opened in 1999, and privately managed by Serco, the prison has capacity to hold 692 inmates. It was the first prison in Scotland to be privately managed.

The “ superfight ” between Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather was streamed to potentially dangerous inmates in their cells in the early morning of the 27 th of August 2017, and a prison source said the ‘big fights’ were regularly streamed into the cells. Justice Secretary Liam Kerr told The Sun that “Jail is meant to rehabilitate offenders and make them turn away from violence and aggression“ questioning whether violent criminals should be allowed to watch a potentially graphic fight.

HMIPS Liaison Visit to HMP Kilmarnock

On 12 August 2020, HMIPS published an inspection report on a Liaison Visit to HMP Kilmarnock. Much of it advised of activities to be re-commenced i.e. at planning, not implementation stage. Again, it advised “Whilst acknowledging that HMP Kilmarnock were providing more time out of cell than we had seen on previous liaison visits, along with allowing prisoners access to a phone while isolated under rule 41 (COVID-19), there is still a tension between the rights set out under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the restrictions having to be imposed”. We are concerned that prisoners' human rights are being breached and that this needs to be addressed directly. We are therefore raising this with HMIPS and partners in the criminal justice system.
