The Scottish Prison Service is facing being investigated by Police Scotland who will determine whether the organisation should be prosecuted following the death of Allan Marshall.
In March 2015, CCTV cameras captured the 30-year-old inmate being dragged naked, feet first and face down through a HMP Edinburgh corridor by 13 officers. The father-of-two, was understood to have suffered various injuries and died four days after the incident at Edinburgh’s Royal infirmary while in an induced coma.
Allan’s family, who live in Lanarkshire, say that they are unhappy with the way the original investigation into his death was carried out. They feel it was mishandled with a Fatal Accident Inquiry ruling that prison employees - who have been granted immunity from prosecution - were “mutually dishonest”.
