People with autism and learning disabilities have been locked away in a high-security Lanarkshire facility for years, despite never committing crimes before being admitted.
Nine patients have been kept in The State Hospital at Carstairs, the Scottish Daily Express reports.
The findings come off the back of a new BBC Scotland documentary,'Disclosure: Locked in the Hospital', which airs on Monday night. The show aims to expose how people with learning disabilities have been stuck in psychiatric hospitals for years.
