I have not heard of this.
This isn’t something the MOJ would be required to consult the profession on and, our Law Reform Officer will correct me if I am wrong, I have never seen a consultation document that has reached us that covers PSOs.
I believe this crosses over to prison law or public law actions for unlawful detention. I know many firms who are members have such specialists who might be able to consider if it is unlawful. I would imagine such a claim is the best route to changing this unfair process.
Kind regards,

Apparently the answer lies in Prison Service Order 6100 - wherein the court is viewed as an extension of the prison and there is no requirement for immediate release..?

Hi Greg
SERCO state it was agreed with the MOJ but were solicitors (or legal practitioners) notified or made aware of this.? If not, is this another instance of sidelining the criminal bar (including solicitors)..??

I agree .It has always seemed to me that the gaolers should know in advance the custody status of each prisoner and if they are not subject to other lawful detention a person should be released immediately from the dock unless there are other bail conditions to be fulfilled .

Subject: Grant of Bail/SERCO
Does anyone know why SERCO are no longer releasing prisoners from court who have been granted bail, stating they are “NOT FOR RELEASE” and must now be returned to the prison from where they are then processed to action their bail?-does this raise issues of false imprisonment as the court’s powers do not usually permit any further ‘hold’ after grant of bail..??
Many thanks
