Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the prison refused to locate him next to his friend and also that they inappropriately located him next to individuals with whom he had had issues in the past. When the prison explained to us the reasons for their decisions, we were satisfied that they had taken all relevant factors into account and that the decision had been fully explained to Mr C. We did not uphold the complaint.
In addition, Mr C complained that the prison falsely accused him of being in a relationship with another prisoner, and that they treated his mother unfairly. We found no evidence to support Mr C's position on these matters and we did not uphold the complaints.
