Summary

Mr C complained that the Scottish Prison Service failed to transfer him to the closest appropriate establishment to his postcode. We identified that the establishment Mr C had in mind was not appropriate as it did not provide a course he was required to complete. He was later moved to an appropriate establishment and listed for the relevant course. He was satisfied with this and decided not to pursue his complaint further.
