Outcome:Not upheld, action taken by body to remedy, no recommendations

Subject:disciplinary charges; orderly room proceedings
Summary
Mr C complained that after an orderly room hearing the adjudicator did not inform medical staff of his cellular confinement, contrary to rule 119(3) of the prison rules. We upheld the complaint, although we made no recommendations as the prison had already acknowledged that the process in place did not comply with rule 119(3) and taken action. We commended the SPS for recognising their error, apologising to Mr C and taking action to prevent a similar situation occurring again by making changes to the orderly room paperwork. There was nothing more that we could achieve by pursuing the complaint further.
