Since 1995, at least 51 young people have died in Scottish prisons. These include Katie Allan and William Lindsay, who shared strong support networks and, despite very different life experiences, died in similar circumstances. Their deaths were deemed preventable in a long-awaited inquiry that identified a ‘catalogue’ of failures but led to no prosecutions.


Dani Garavelli has been investigating William and Katie’s deaths since 2018. She joins Malin to discuss the high rate of suicide in custody and why Scotland’s supposedly enlightened approach to youth justice is deeply flawed.
