What was promised

Stated action 1 · response to Reggie Johns (16 Sept 2013) · stated timescale: none stated

“Since Mr [name redacted]' death, HMP Bristol has introduced a system whereby their safer custody team contacts the receiving establishment via email and telephone whenever a prisoner on an open ACCT transfers out of the prison to make the receiving establishment aware of the prisoner's perceived risk of harm. In addition, the escort contractors are also now informed of those prisoners on open ACCTs prior to being transferred out to court or other establishments. These conversations are recorded on Prison-NOMIS”
