On 25 July 2024, SHRC (Scottish Human Rights Commission) and NPM (National Preventive Mechanism) published a significant report: ‘Review … Recommend … Repeat … An assessment of where human rights have stalled in places of detention’. The report reviews recommendations made by international human rights bodies at the United Nations, and the European Committee on the Prevention of Torture, over a 10-year period in prisons and the forensic mental health estate. Having examined 29 specific recommendations, they found that 24 were making little or no progress; 5 were making significant progress; and 0 were complete. They have since identified 3 areas for further action: i) deaths in detention (including custody); ii) transfers between prisons and mental health facilities; iii) Orders for Lifelong Restriction.
