'Our rapists should admit guilt before they get parole'

Two survivors say rapists should not be allowed out of prison before they have served their full sentences unless they have admitted guilt and shown remorse.

Ellie Wilson and Hannah McLaughlan have waived their right to anonymity and are now calling for changes to the parole system, which decides when certain prisoners can be released.

One of their requests is clearer information for victims about the parole process.

The Parole Board for Scotland said its role was to assess whether it was safe for an offender to be released from prison to serve the rest of their sentence in the community.
