Noranside prison to close for Christmas
An open jail is to close for Christmas while inmates go home on leave.
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) confirmed Noranside prison, in Angus, will be mothballed for a week over the festive period.
The prison currently has about 100 inmates. Any prisoners not eligible for Christmas leave will be moved to nearby Castle Huntly prison.
The SPS said the prison had also closed last Christmas. It is not known how many prisoners will be given leave.
The spokesman added: "That is the plan at the moment - we did that last year.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
