Key Principle

Where a prisoner held in a Close Supervision Centre under rule 46 of the Prison Rules 1999 has been assessed as suitable to associate but is kept removed from association, the continued removal must be reviewed, properly authorised and accompanied by adequate procedural safeguards; a failure to give adequate reasons breaches common law fairness and may breach Article 8 ECHR.
