Dear Scottish Prison Service,

I am writing to you regarding Prisoner Literacy levels in Scottish Prisons. I am doing this under the Freedom of Information Act. I would appreciate if you could send me the following information.

1. What qualifies as both 'functional literacy levels' and 'functional numeracy levels' in the standards set by the testing methods which SPS uses to test prisoners.

2. What percentage of prisoners screened lack functional literacy levels?

3. What percentage of prisoners screened lack functional numeracy levels?

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my request.

Yours faithfully,

Sean Finnan
