“Had information concerning his emotions at court been relayed to the prison staff”
4. self-harm threat
“At a previous hearing on 25.02.17 Mr [name redacted] had made a comparable threat to kill himself”
5. information sharing
“The benefit of relaying helpful information to the prison intended to protect Mr [name redacted]”
