HMP Edinburgh is located in the west of Edinburgh on the main A71, in an area now known as Stenhouse, and, although never named as such, has commonly been known as Saughton Prison from the old name for the general area. The prison is situated on the edge of a predominantly residential area and has good transport and road links to the city centre, which provides good access both for local courts and prison visitors. The building of the prison began on 31 July 1914 with the first prisoner being received in 1919.[1] The prison consists of four halls: Glenesk, Hermiston, Ingliston and Ratho.
The prison receives inmates from the courts in Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Borders. The prison manages adult male and female individuals including those on remand, short term sentences (serving less than four years), long term sentences (serving four years or more), life sentence prisoners and extended sentence prisoners (Order for Lifelong Restriction).[2]
