Prisons using shipping containers to house inmates to tackle overcrowding crisis
Move is part of efforts to increase capacity in prisons by 14,000 FREIGHT ESCAPE Prisons using shipping containers to house inmates to tackle overcrowding crisis Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRISONS are using shipping containers to house inmates to tackle the overcrowding crisis. Jail chiefs are spending tens of millions of pounds on the units which will be converted to hold lags. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up One prison — HMP Albany on the Isle of Wight where paedo Gary Glitter previously served time — will splash out £15million on the 'rapid deployment cells' to house more inmates. They will come with built-in beds and tables. It is part of efforts to increase capacity in prisons by 14,000. Contract details seen by The Sun on Sunday show the units, referred to as 'containerised' jail cells, will only be used for 'risk-assessed prisoners'. Paperwork says: 'The units are arranged into a double or single storey configuration and attached to separate sleeper units.' But one source said: 'You have to wonder how safe and secure the containers will be. 'Prisoners will also no doubt lodge loads of complaints.' Shipping containers were used as temporary cells during lockdowns to prevent the spread of Covid. Prison Service bosses confirmed that rapid deployment cells were part of expansion plans to help protect the public. Officials said the department is investing up to £7billion and adding 14,000 places, as well as putting hundreds of millions of pounds towards improving jails. 'Scary' overcrowded jails blasted by prison officers and inmates as gang fights soar A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'To ensure we never run out of prison places again, we're installing rapid deployment cells across the prison estate.'

Inside golf course bosses' security measures ahead of Donald Trump's visit – including unusual ‘lookouts'
More details of the President's trip are expected to emerge in the coming days Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SECURITY chiefs at Donald Trump's Scots golf courses are keeping an eye on Who's who in the lead-up to his visit this week — by deploying Dalek-style look-outs. The bizarre-looking devices — resembling the TV Timelord's croaky-voiced enemies — will alert cops to troublemakers at the US President's luxury resorts. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Daleks have been set up to detect intruders at Trump Turnberry 6 US president Donald Trump is expected in Scotland later this week 6 The security bots have also been placed at Menie Course 6 It comes just months after vandals targeted the clubhouse at Turnberry They have cameras and motion sensors capable of detecting intruders and have sprung up at Turnberry, in Ayrshire, and Menie, Aberdeenshire. Towers with thermal imaging cameras capable of detecting fires are also in place for the private trip ahead of his official UK State Visit — an unprecedented second — in September. A source said: 'Trump's visit is a big deal so the staff need to be on their toes at all times. There has to be a constant state of readiness.' We told how a ring of steel is being teed up as the Republican chief gets set to jet into Scotland for the first time in two years. Trump is due to meet PM Sir Keir Starmer in Aberdeen during his trip between Friday and next Tuesday. Plans are also being finalised for a summit with First Minister John Swinney. He will also open his second course at Menie named after his late mother Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis. The estimated £5million security operation will involve 5,000 police officers from around the UK. Our reporters also spotted cops in marked and unmarked cars at Turnberry and white tents being set up. A ban on on unmanned aircraft, parachutes and drones is also in force at Balmedie. Karoline Leavitt gives Donald Trump health update after President suffered 'swelling on ankles & bruising on hands' It comes months after Trump's Ayrshire course was vandalised with pro-Palestine graffiti. Eight people have been charged in relation to the incident on March 8 after red paint was sprayed on the clubhouse and damage was caused to the greens. Trump's last presidential visit in 2018 prompted a major security operation and large protests in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said: 'A policing plan will be in place to maintain public safety, balance rights to peaceful protest and minimise disruption.' We previously told how Mr Swinney was urged to hail the 'valuable contribution' of Trump International to Scotland's economy during a visit of the President's son. It also emerged that the FM 'reassured' Eric Trump that cops would take 'seriously' the vandalism incident. Trump is also planing an official state visit to the UK in September. Trump International was contacted for comment. 6 The security cameras have been set up to catch intruders
