Prisoner Handling DVD Update
Recommendation
The 2005 prisoner handling DVD should be amended to avoid misleading messages about sight deprivation in the context of interrogation, and the inappropriate presentation of the interrogation facility. 'Bagged and tagged' is an ambiguous phrase which should not be used.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
The Ministry of Defence stated in September 2011 that the 2005 prisoner handling DVD was reviewed and updated to address misleading messages and ambiguous phrases. The recommendation was recorded as completed by September 2012 based on the MoD's response. No specific updated DVD or further published evidence has been identified since 2012.
