Prison time out of cell

Full decision

Summary

Mr C was told he did not need to do any more courses while in prison and in due course he was released. He was later recalled to prison and was then told that he did need to do more coursework. He complained that this was inappropriate. During our consideration of Mr C's complaint, the SPS resolved the matter for him and he decided to withdraw the complaint. Therefore, we took no further action on it.
