Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that he was subjected to discriminatory abuse by a fellow prisoner. Our investigation considered the steps that the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) took to deal with the abuse, and we were satisfied they were reasonable in the circumstances. There was no evidence that the SPS had failed to administer the matter appropriately, and we did not uphold the complaint. We noted that the SPS also made sure that Mr C could report any further abuse to prison staff.
