About this listen

Scottish prisons are creaking at the seams with inmates, and staff are bearing the brunt.

Some prisoners are being released in a third “emergency” pressure release.

Phil Fairlie of the Scottish Prison Officers Association joins us to explain what it’s like on the front line.

We also look at the latest stories behind the headlines, including a glimmer of good news for people caught up in the crumbling concrete housing crisis in Aberdeen.

And we look at an update on disgraced NHS Tayside surgeon Sam Eljamel as the public inquiry gets closer.
