The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what apologies are due to Angela Kennedy on behalf of the Scottish Prison Service and Reliance Secure Task Management Ltd after she was returned to prison for a week despite a court ordering her immediate release.
The answer
I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to respond. His response is as follows:
A full investigation is undertaken into the circumstances surrounding each incident. If that investigation determines that a prisoner or former prisoner was detained in error by the SPS or on its behalf, the SPS will advise the person concerned of the facts. He or she may then wish to draw them to the attention of a legal adviser with a view to seeking compensation.
