Prisoners: Uniforms
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what information the Prison Service holds on the number of prisoners who refused to wear (a) boiler suits and (b) other prison uniforms issued by the Prison Service in the latest period for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
Refusal by prisoners to wear boiler suits or other prison uniforms is dealt with as a local disciplinary matter. Records do not distinguish between such cases and other instances of refusal to comply with orders or rules. This could be established only by examining the actual records of each disciplinary hearing manually at disproportionate cost.
