Answer 4

For an insight and information on prisons in Scotland go to www.sps.gov.uk this is the Scottish Prison Services Official site.

Imprisonment will always be used as it is the only way to safely remove dangerous people from our streets. Also overcrowding throughout Britain is leading to the Government looking at alternatives to custody but other than tagging nothing much else has been done.
