SIC SPS Policy on prisoner access to in-cell TV, wages and removal of privileges by local management.
Mr F asked the Scottish Prison Service (the SPS) for information as to the SPS local and national policy on prisoner access to in-cell TV, wages, and removal of privileges by local management. No response was provided by the SPS. Following a review, the SPS provided Mr F with information that it considered fully answered his request. Mr F was dissatisfied with this response and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner found that in not responding to Mr F’s request for information within 20 working days the SPS breached section 10(1) of FOISA. However, the Commissioner was satisfied that the SPS complied with section 1(1) of FOISA in providing Mr F with all relevant information it held in relation to his request.
