Summary

Mr C complained to us about the Scottish Prison Service (SPS)'s handling of the programmes he needed to complete in prison before he could be considered for early release. However, Mr C was freed from prison whilst we were investigating his complaint and did not provide us with a contact address. Although the SPS provided a contact address, Mr C did not respond to our attempts to contact him there, and we had no option but to close our file on his case.
