Moving #ketamine from class C to B in 2014 did not prevent rising use. So why would moving it up to class A be a solution? www.itv.com/news/2025-06...

The OLR violates the basic principles of justice and has no place in Scotland if it wishes to be a fair and progressive country.

We should find a way to tackle harm in society instead of focussing all our anxiety on a few individuals while lots of the same goes on outside. Reports do not reduce harm. See e.g. transformharm.org for better ideas.

When you are on an OLR, the system is so rigid and it is so bureaucratic, it’s not like any other long sentence because it has so many extra layers of bureaucracy, so it is easier being a life sentenced prisoner (Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist) #NOLR

The OLR no's increase and we don’t have the capacity to manage them effectively. Then it impacts on the life population … it was just assumed that we dealt with what was given to us, but the practical application of it was not realised and then it got worse and worse and worse (Prison manager)

‘I’ worries for her nephew ‘J’ who was 21 when he got an OLR. His punishment tariff was 2 ½ years and he remains in prison after 14 years. Through her own career ‘I’ is aware of research showing that young males' brains are not fully developed into maturity until the age of 25 #NOLR
