To ask the Scottish Executive how many prisoners have (a) had proceedings taken against them for and (b) received (i) an adjudication or (ii) a criminal conviction for violence at HM Prison Kilmarnock in each quarter since the prison came into operation.

I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to respond. His response is as follows:

The number of cases dealt with in the orderly room has been:

Year 1 (including opening months): 3,200

Year 2: 4,300

Year 3: 4,100

Year 4 (10 months): 4,200

A breakdown of types of breaches of discipline is contained in Appendix 6 of the latest SPS Annual Report and Accounts. This document can be found in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. number 22587).

The remainder of the information is not available.
