WOMEN for Independence have called on the next government to cap the number of females in prison at 100.

Jail should be taken “off the menu for the lower courts” the group says, with more women diverted to other rehabilitation and support services.

Writing in their manifesto for May’s election, the pro-independence feminist group says: “Many – if not most – of the women currently in prison have themselves been victims of terrible crimes, and we would like to see more justice for victims, particularly around accessing legal support.

“For example, victims of rape and domestic abuse must be given legal representation if the person charged with attacking them seeks to have their private medical records included in evidence. Legal Aid must be available for this. The Scottish Government should legislate to make this change happen.”
 
There are less than 500 women in prison in Scotland to begin with. Take out all the ones that probably don't need to be there and they could probably easily cap it at 100. It's fucking Scotland, they only got so many women as it is.
 
I think they should cap them by the time they get to 80.
It's a prison for crisakes, not a nursing home.
