What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to stop the use of prisons for punishment and deterrence, and only use them for public protection purposes, in order to reduce the pressure on the prison service and allow more focus on rehabilitation, thereby ensuring that those who pose the greatest risk are jailed, whilst allowing those who pose less of a risk to be given community orders, fines and potentially lifelong driving bans.
