The families of two people who took their own lives in a young offenders institution are to meet the First Minister and Justice Secretary as the Scottish Government considers “improvements” in the prison system.
Katie Allan, 21, and William Brown, 16, also known as William Lindsay, died in their cells at Polmont Young Offenders Institution (YOI) in 2018 within months of each other.
Glasgow University student Ms Allan was found dead on June 4 while serving a 16-month sentence for drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
