Recommendation 60: OASys for short-sentence prisoners at induction
From Report of the Zahid Mubarek inquiry (Volumes I and II), published 29 June 2006.
Recommendation
All adult prisoners serving sentences of less than 12 months’ imprisonment who had an OASys assessment before being sentenced should have that assessment reviewed during the induction process. The review need only address the risk of harm which the prisoner poses to staff and other inmates. If resources permit, adult prisoners serving sentences of less than 12 months’ imprisonment who did not have an OASys assessment before being sentenced should have one during the induction process.
Government response
