Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the prison had unreasonably refused to allow him to have his bracelet within the establishment.

The prison explained that Mr C's bracelet was large and could potentially be used as a weapon. From our investigation, we were satisfied that this was a decision that the prison were entitled to take and that they had done so appropriately.
