To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the evidence given to the Public Petitions Committee on 10 February 2009 by the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, whether there are technical reasons for which the site of HMP Aberdeen can not be used for a new community prison.
Answer
I have asked Mike Ewart, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:
HMP Grampian will be the new community prison for the region and will accommodate all prisoner categories including those on remand. The site at HMP Aberdeen is too small for the proposed capacity of the new prison, HMP Grampian.
