Recommendation 35: Police National Computer link to prisons
From Report of the Zahid Mubarek inquiry (Volumes I and II), published 29 June 2006.
Recommendation
The Police National Computer should be linked to the whole of the prison estate. In the meantime, any intelligence the police may have about prisoners which could affect their management in prison should be sent to the police liaison officers for the establishments at which the prisoners are being held. A decision can then be made whether the intelligence can be disseminated widely within the prison or given to a governor for their eyes only.
Government response
No government response to this recommendation is on the record yet.
