Subject:home detention curfew
Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, applied for home detention curfew (also known as electronic tagging - it enables certain prisoners to be released, with a tag which checks that they stay at a particular location at certain times of the day or night). When his application was rejected, he complained to us that this decision was based on inaccurate information about his behaviour in prison. On investigation, we found that the records showed that there was evidence of such behaviour. We did not uphold his complaint.
