Polmont (HM Prison)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Her Majesty's Young Offenders Institution Polmont is the largest of its kind in Scotland. Despite its name, the institution is actually located in Reddingmuirhead in the Falkirk region, and not in Polmont.

It is designed to hold up to 454 inmates between the ages of 16 and 21, although there have been several reports and complaints about the literal figures [1]. Reports of living conditions have also been criticized, including an alleged lack of food for inmates and the practice of slopping out [2]. Notable inmates include Luke Mitchell.
