Its aim is to introduce the readers to time banking and to inform the third sector about the possibilities of expanding time banks by making links with prisons. Throughout the chapters it will be suggested that volunteering through time banks can bring a lot of benefits not only to ordinary time banking members but to prisoners as well. The guide will evaluate how time banking can influence the rates of reoffending, if not directly, but by improving prisoners’ emotional well-being. In order to do so the available literature based on recidivism (a person's relapse into criminal behaviour) will be reviewed. A part of this document is dedicated to a HMP & YOI Cornton Vale Time Bank Feasibility Study which aimed to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a time bank within this institution.

    Friday 30 October 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Learning and Justice Graeme Pearson (South Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government how many prisoners have been prescribed methadone in each year since 2006-07, broken down by prison. (S4W-27817) Paul Wheelhouse: The following table provides a snapshot of data relating to the numbers of prisoners prescribed with methadone in each prison in Scotland from May 2006. This data is a count of the number of prisoners recorded as receiving a methadone prescription on a single day. This information was gathered by Scottish Prison Service (SPS) and the NHS to provide an indicative figure of the number of people in prisons in receipt of methadone. This data was collected by SPS up until 2010. There is a hiatus in data collection (2011-13) following the transfer of service provision from SPS to NHS, however, this data is now being collected twice a year by National Prisoner Healthcare Network. Further work is currently underway to determine the most effective model for incorporating and delivering the requirements which will allow future detailed reporting.
