Professor Linda Allan’s 21-year-old daughter Katie died in Polmont young offenders’ institution in 2018.
The mother of a woman who took her own life at Polmont young offenders’ institution says suicidal prisoners are placed in “torture cells” rather than being given therapeutic care.
She told Lady Smith’s inquiry there has been an “astounding” increase in suicides in custody despite a new strategy to reduce them being introduced in 2016. When this woman was moved elsewhere, other young offenders turned on Katie as the woman had been supplying drugs to them, Prof Allan said. She said: “If someone is suicidal, what they need is a therapeutic environment. Instead what happens is they are put into a torture cell.”
