On 14 August 2024, HMIPS’s first full inspection reports for the Lilias Centre, Bella Centre and HMP/YOI Stirling were published. All were largely very positive. Re the Lilias Centre, you don’t often/ever hear a prison’s ambience described as “calm, relaxed and good-humoured”. However, there was criticism of the persistence of routine body-searching; a lack of investment in technology; and some specific issues pertaining to the design of HMP/YOI Stirling’s Separation and Reintegration Unit and its practice of being used as an assessment centre prior to women being transferred to significantly poorer quality accommodation in other (non-women specific) prisons.
