While most people are warm & cozy at home, resting & spending time with family, don't forget people in #prison - stay connected or get in touch, remind them that you care & they haven't been forgotten. emailaprisoner.com @prisonadvice @FamiliesOutside @hmpps
The @SP_Justice Cttee commented on the positive impact of in cell mobiles based on evidence from @FamiliesOutside and @hmipscot in their Pre Budget Scrutiny Report 👉 sp-bpr-en-prod-cdnep.azureedge.net/published/%20C…
Understandable concerns have been raised over the last few months. @FamiliesOutside have stressed the overwhelming benefits of in cell telephony 👉 familiesoutside.org.uk/comment-from-f…
Very disappointing to see @ScotTories calling for the immediate withdrawal of in cell telephony with no engagement with families affected by imprisonment across Scotland. In cell mobiles have been a life line for families.
The SNP's 'unhackable' phones - that cost the taxpayer £2.7 million - are being hacked by prisoners and used to deal drugs. Instead of temporarily confiscating the handsets, they must be removed from Scotland's prisons immediately.
