Decision report 201204046

Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that he was not allowed to have a particular item in prison. It is not for us to tell prisons what items they should allow, so our role was to consider whether the prison correctly followed their policy about items that are allowed there. We checked that the item in question was not on the prison's list of allowed items, and advised Mr C that, as it was not on that list, the prison had followed their policy and acted correctly.
