Lamont: Pampered prisoners shouldn’t complain about anything and everything

An FOI has shown that the Scottish Prison Service is being tied down by more than 1,200 prisoner complaints a month, or 40 every day.

John Lamont MSP, Scottish Conservative Justice Spokesperson, said:

"No one disputes that there must be a proper process for prisoner grievances. However, it is clear that many prisoners view the system as an excuse to complain about anything and everything. It's as if they expect a life of luxury behind bars to be theirs by right.

"Our soft-touch SNP Justice Secretary has described prison as a 'skoosh' and it's clear that many prisoners feel that is how it should be as well. We want prison to be tough with real opportunities for rehabilitation, not a walk in the park where pampered convicts waste valuable staff time with a number of meaningless complaints."
