Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the prison failed to follow the appropriate procedure at his disciplinary hearing. During our investigation, we obtained a copy of the record taken by the adjudicator at Mr C's hearing and we asked the prison for their comments. We also reviewed the Scottish Prison Service's disciplinary hearings guide which provides guidance on how hearings should be conducted.

After reviewing all of the information, we found no evidence to show that the prison had not followed the appropriate disciplinary procedure and did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
