	Kilmarnock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kilmarnock (Cill Mhearnáig in Scottish Gaelic, and Killie locally) is a large burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland, with a population of about 60,000.
		Kilmarnock's traditional industries were carpets (manufactured by BMK) and other textiles, as well as making locomotives (Andrew Barclay and Sons) and valves (Glenfield and Kennedy).
		Kilmarnock has failed to capitalise on Ayrshire's growing tourist industry, although a four-star hotel recently opened next to Rugby Park, the home of Kilmarnock F.C., and some new resturaunts have opened in the town centre.

		Kilmarnock's D Wing is seen as the cushiest in the jail and houses the prisoners who cause the least trouble.
		She said private prisons plans resulted from the "defeatist attitude" of those who said the prison population was set to rise and failed to see the need for alternatives to custody.
		Prisons, which are one of the less appealing and least populist of political issues, have become a severe headache for justice minister Jim Wallace and a crucial test of which way devolution will go, carrying a significance far beyond the high-security fences.

	Prison Privatisation Report International
		The prison opened in March 1999 and is run by Kilmarnock Prison Services Ltd, part of Premier Custodial Group Ltd. The chief inspector made an unannounced inspection of the prison on 14 and 15 March 2002, his third in three years (see PPRI # 44, 43, 40, 37 and 36).
		All areas of the prison were relatively clean and conditions for prisoners were decent; the standards for remand prisoner s compared favourably with the best found elsewhere in the SPS estate.
		The ferocity of the tendering system means that every new private prison that comes on stream does so with fewer staff on lower pay, because the wages bill is the big cost in running a prison, and it is the only cost that the operators can address in order to remain competitive.

		It should be noted, however, that although the prison is operated on a day-to-day basis by a private company and that the vast majority of the staff who work there are PPS employees, HMP Kilmarnock is an SPS prison and therefore forms an integral part of the overall SPS estate.
		For example, other SPS prisons operate a different attendance pattern from that at Kilmarnock and staffing levels at some prisons are to an extent determined by the architecture of the buildings whilst at the same time, these establishments have relatively little by way of modern technology to assist them.
		Although the outline of a foundation was in place for prisoners to address their offending behaviour, we formed the opinion that more had yet to be done.
