To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-35004 by Kenny MacAskill on 21 July 2010, whether it will outline the different ways in which HMP Kilmarnock and HMP Addiewell are seeking to reduce reoffending
Answer
I have asked John Ewing, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service, to respond. His response is as follows:
Both HMP Kilmarnock and HMP Addiewell contribute to the reduction of re-offending by offering a range of programmes aimed at reducing offending by prisoners. At Kilmarnock this is based on a more traditional industrial and occupational model, whereas Addiewell provides a more educational based regime, operating as a learning prison with all purposeful activity designed to have a learning element.

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-35004 by Kenny MacAskill on 21 July 2010, whether it plans to assess the differences between the contracts for operation of HMP Kilmarnock and HMP Addiewell regarding (a) value for money and (b) reduction in reoffending
Answer
I have asked John Ewing, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service, to respond. His response is as follows:
The Scottish Prison Service has no plans to assess the differences between the contracts for HMP Kilmarnock and HMP Addiewell.
