PRISON SERVICE

HORNER J
[1] The applicant is Glen Campbell. He was convicted of unspecified offences in
Scotland and given a period of imprisonment. I have not been told when his
sentence expires. He was moved to prison in Northern Ireland in February 2011
under the provisions of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997. The relevant provisions
governing the transfer of prisoners within the British Isles are contained in Schedule
1. In particular paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 provides that the transfer shall have effect
subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State may think fit to impose. These
conditions were set out in a letter of 7 February 2011 from the Scottish Prison Service
which the applicant signed and at the same time acknowledging:

transfer to Northern Ireland and wish my transfer to
proceed on that basis.”

follows:
“Transfer will be on a restricted basis for an initial
period of six months.
