In 2021–2022, the Prison population of Scotland was recorded at just over 7,500 inmates by the Scottish Government.[1] The prison population in the country was reported to be expected to increase in 2023–2024, after a decline during the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland. Whilst the Scottish Government did not confirm or deny whether the projection which was claimed by the BBC was accurate, they did claim that they were continuing with work in order to decrease the prison population.[2]
