Crime: Prison Officers

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Falconer of Thoroton on 21 May (WA 82), why HM Prison Service does not record all prosecutions or convictions of prison officers.
Answer

Prison Service staff are required to inform their line managers if they have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence or receive a police caution. Information reported remains in local records. The Prison Service will consider whether to change these procedures as part of its improvement plan to strengthen the service’s approach to tackling corruption.
