Praise for anti-sectarian project
Polmont Young Offenders Institution has been praised for a scheme to cut sectarianism among inmates. Officials set up a six-week course to reduce sectarian-related violence in the jail.Community Safety Minister Fergus Ewing visited the prison to present awards to three inmates who completed the course.
Titled 'A Culture of Two Halves' the scheme is also being piloted at HMP Barlinnie and Celtic and Rangers football clubs.
The programme, which is run with support from YouthLink Scotland and Victim Support, is part of a training and rehabilitation programme for those involved.
