Prisons (Scotland) Act 1989
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
13 Legal custody of prisoner.
Without prejudice to section 295 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 46) (legal custody of persons generally), a prisoner is in legal custody— (a) while he is confined in or being taken to or from any prison in which he may be lawfully confined; or (b) while he is working or is, for any other reason, outside the prison in the custody or under the control of an officer of the prison , a constable (“constable” having the same meaning as it has, by virtue of paragraph 17(1) and (2) of Schedule 1 to the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 (c. 43), in section 40(1) of this Act) or a police custody and security officer ; or (c) while he is being taken to any place to which he is required or authorised by or under this Act to be taken; or (d) while he is kept in custody in pursuance of such requirement or authorisation.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
