NEGLIGENCE at Polmont Young Offenders Institution served as a “death sentence,” driving two people to take their own lives, according to their families’ lawyer.

Aamer Anwar made the remarks as the outcome of a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) was published into the deaths of Kate Allan, 21, and William Brown, 16, at the institution within months of one another in 2018.

Allan, a student at Glasgow University, was found dead on June 4 while serving a 16-month sentence for drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
