Scottish Prison Service

We're delighted to share that Rev Jill Clancy, Chaplain at HMP Barlinnie, has been nominated as the next Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

A historic milestone that sees Jill become the first prison chaplain to hold the role 👉tinyurl.com/ad87emv3

Behind our prison walls are dedicated people who care deeply about helping others make positive changes.

Much of their work happens quietly and goes unseen, but the impact can be profound.

On #HiddenHeroesDay, we celebrate the people who make SPS what it is.

Congratulations to the individuals in our care who secured 315 awards at this year's #KoestlerAwards

With almost 1,000 entries submitted from across Scotland's prisons, the awards recognise exceptional talent across art, craft, writing and performance.
