苏格兰最大监狱巴利尼（Barlinnie）的供水问题影响了多名囚犯，预计将持续整个周末。
A water supply issue affecting a number of prisoners in Scotland's largest jail is likely to continue throughout the weekend.
格拉斯哥巴利尼监狱的两个监舍的部分囚犯在夜间没有自来水，也无法获得瓶装水。
Some inmates at two halls in Barlinnie in Glasgow had no running water in their cells overnight and no access to bottled water.
但苏格兰监狱服务局（SPS）表示，该问题的彻底解决存在困难，工作人员将继续利用现有供水和瓶装水支持受影响的囚犯。
But the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said the issue was proving more difficult to fully resolve and staff would continue to support people affected with the available water supply and bottled water.
一名女性告诉BBC苏格兰新闻，该情况导致部分囚犯无法冲厕所，她称之为“完全不可接受”。SPS表示，当晚没有囚犯提出瓶装水需求，但已分发了瓶装水。
One woman told BBC Scotland News that the situation, which left some inmates unable to flush the toilet, was "completely unacceptable." The SPS said there were no prisoner requests for bottled water overnight but supplies were distributed.
据了解，该监狱于周四下午4点向苏格兰水务公司（Scottish Water）报告了水压下降的情况。
It is understood that the prison reported a drop in water pressure to Scottish Water at 16:00 on Thursday.
当时认为问题已在傍晚得到解决，但后来发现部分监舍在夜间仍无自来水。
It was thought the problem had been fixed by the evening but it has emerged some cells did not have running water overnight.
BBC新闻首次是在周四晚上8点30分左右，接到一位关心的亲属关于巴利尼供水情况的联系。
BBC News was first contacted by a concerned relative about the water situation in Barlinnie at about 20:30.
当时，SPS表示该地区存在低水压问题，正在处理中，但饮用水供应没有问题。
At the time, the SPS said there was a low water pressure problem which was being addressed, but that there was no issue with drinking water.
一名支持受影响囚犯的女性表示，应急措施本应在问题出现时立即启动。她说：“当供水中断时，向囚犯分发瓶装水理应是首要任务。”
One woman, who supports an affected prisoner, said that contingency measures should have been put in place immediately. She said: "Surely distributing bottled water to prisoners should be an immediate priority when the water supply fails?
“这些不是奢侈品，而是生命最基本的必需品，囚犯完全依赖苏格兰监狱服务局来提供这些必需品。”她表示，她和其他人曾在周四联系巴利尼监狱以表达担忧。
"These are not luxuries. They are the most basic necessities of life, and prisoners are entirely dependent on the Scottish Prison Service to provide them."
SPS无法透露受影响囚犯的确切人数，但据了解，A舍和E舍的囚犯出现了供水问题。
The woman said that she and others had contacted Barlinnie on Thursday to raise concerns.
苏格兰水务公司发言人表示：“我们可以确认，该地区苏格兰水务网络没有出现任何问题。”
The SPS could not say how many prisoners had been affected but it is understood those in A and E halls had problems with their supplies.
此事涉及巴利尼监狱（HMP Barlinnie）内部的一个问题，我们正在支持苏格兰监狱服务（Scottish Prison Service），以便其解决该问题。去年，格拉斯哥监狱的19世纪末和20世纪初部分被苏格兰历史环境署（Historic Environment Scotland，HES）列为甲类（Category A）受保护建筑。巴利尼监狱的建设始于1880年，并于1882年正式开放。
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "We can confirm there are no issues affecting the Scottish Water network in the area. "The matter relates to an internal issue within HMP Barlinnie and we are supporting the Scottish Prison Service as it works to resolve it." Last year the late 19th Century and early 20th Century sections of the Glasgow prison were recognised by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) as a Category A listed building.
它是苏格兰在监狱系统国有化之后建造的第一座新监狱，这一举措依据的是1877年的《监狱法》（Prison Act of 1877）。
Construction of Barlinnie started in 1880 and the site opened in 1882.
巴利尼监狱曾因其极为严酷的管理而臭名昭著，囚犯需在那里进行苦役，包括从当地采石场破碎岩石。
It was the first new prison built in Scotland following the nationalisation of the prison system, with the Prison Act of 1877.
该监狱也曾是死刑的执行场所，1946年至1960年间，共有10名男子在此地通过绞刑被处死。
Barlinnie was known for being a notoriously tough prison, where prisoners carried out hard labour, breaking rocks from a local quarry.
近年来，该监狱一直受到过拥挤问题的困扰。苏格兰政府已承诺建造一座新监狱以取代巴利尼监狱，施工目前正在进行中。新监狱预计将于2028年完工，总成本近10亿英镑。
It also served as a home for capital punishment, with 10 men executed by hanging at the site between 1946 and 1960. In recent years the prison has been plagued by issues of overcrowding The Scottish government has committed to building a new prison to replace Barlinnie and construction is under way. It is due to be completed in 2028 at a cost of nearly £1bn.
