Use of bail and remand consultation launches
Created: 17/11/2021
News/Events Category: General NewsViews are being sought on how to improve the way bail and prison custody operates in Scotland.
A consultation has been launched on how custody is used as part of the criminal justice system and how support can be given to better help people move on from their offending behaviour within communities while ensuring public protection and victim safety remain at the centre of the process.
Proposals aimed at reducing the undue disruption caused by short periods of imprisonment on remand, providing more opportunities for rehabilitation and better supporting reintegration for people leaving prison will be considered.
The responses to the consultation will inform legislation, with a Bill scheduled for introduction in the first year of this Parliament.
The proposals within the consultation recognise that, while imprisonment will always be needed for those who pose a risk of serious harm, many people in contact with the criminal justice system experience multiple and severe disadvantage. A greater emphasis on rehabilitation and reintegration will do more to support people to move away from offending behaviour,
The consultation will close on 07 February 2021.
