Two young people who died by suicide at Polmont were handed a “death sentence”, their family’s lawyer has said, after an inquiry found they might still be alive if not for a “catalogue of failures”.
Katie Allan, a 21-year-old Glasgow University student, and William Brown, a 16-year-old also known as William Lindsay, who had repeatedly been in care, died within months of each other while imprisoned at the young offenders institution in 2018.
