Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the Scottish Prison Service did not follow procedures when they downgraded him from less secure conditions to more secure. During our investigation, Mr C told us that he was applying for legal aid for judicial review of the prison's actions in relation to the matter he had complained to us about. We cannot investigate complaints if they are the subject of legal action. In view of this, we closed Mr C's complaint. However, we told him to contact us again if his application for legal aid was unsuccessful.
