No Children in Prisons in Scotland
1 September 2024
As at 1 September 2024, no children (defined as those under-18 years) are being held in prison in Scotland. This is a historic achievement, with much of it down to our Executive Committee Member, Fiona Dyer and her team at CYCJ. It is worth noting that this is the only part of the Children (Care and Justice) (Scotland) Act 2024 that has been implemented to date.
