A Scottish Prison Service spokeswoman said: “We cannot comment on individual prisoners.”

Mccash was part of the Let’s Talk Recovery group along with Recovery Dundee’s Sharon Brand and Let’s Talk Tayside’s Ashley Bonini.”

It was revealed in January that Mccash was to appeal against his sentence, with a date set to be scheduled in the coming weeks.
