Summary
In prisons there are paid work opportunities for prisoners in various areas. Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that he had been unable to obtain work in prison. He considered that this disadvantaged him financially and affected his prospects for successful resettlement after his sentence.
When we looked at the complaint, we found that the Scottish Prison Service made reasonable attempts to find work for him. As there was no appropriate work opportunity available for Mr C, we did not uphold the complaint.
