Which MP deals with complaints from prisioners

[EDDIE51]

All MP's do. Write to the MP for your home area before you went to prison.

[jim360]

The overall Minister responsible for prisons is Rory Stewart, although I think for any individual complaint you would start with your local MP as Eddie suggests.

[fruitsalad]

Not sure if this is correct but is David Gauke minister of prisons?

[EDDIE51]

You have to start by writing to your own MP. If necessary the MP will pass on the question to the appropriate Minister. Ministers do not deal directly with ordinary members of the public.

[bednobs]

has the prisoner dealt with the internal complaints procedure and then the ppo?

[fruitsalad]

Yes hes just about to do start that process

[bednobs]

hi fuit salad, if that answer was to me, they he probably ees to do that process frst a the MP is just likely to tell him to o it

[fruitsalad]

Yes bednobs, that was what was told to him after I had originally posted, for him to start with internal complaints, Thank you all for the input.

the usual common law rule is that
you have to exhaust local "remedies" (ha!) before going to outside agencies. If you dont - all they say is 'fanx no fanx exhaust local remedies first"

[two exceptions spring to mind - GMC and their dob-in-a-doc campaign of 2000-2005 - and the roman dutch legal system in the dutch republics 1895-1900 - the "years of anarchy"]
