Other issues were found during the pandemic, including missed hospital appointments due to a “troubling” transport performance.
HMP Low Moss, near Bishopbriggs, had its capacity increased by 100 in 2012 through creating double cells.
On overcrowding, the report found: “The continued overcrowding, far exceeding design capacity, remains an enduring crisis and is echoed in HMP Low Moss with the prison population also exceeding its 2012 design capacity. The report states: “It is HMIPS’ view that the space available was not adequate for two people to live comfortably side by side. At the time of the inspection, there were no plans to end ‘Project 100’."
