OVER 20 years ago, Roger Houchin, a former governor of HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow, published a study of who Scotland’s prisoners were. It was a snapshot of who was in jail, and which districts they came from, on just one specific night. This was before the creation of multi-member council wards so there were at that time over 1,200 districts.
