I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:The incident to which the answer to question S1W-25983 referred is being investigated by the police. Should that investigation result in a prosecution and conviction, the relevant number of performance points will be recorded Schedule F to the Contract defines that, for Performance points purposes, all assaults must be proven on adjudication or by criminal conviction for violence against the person.
