Article 118 Breaches of discipline occurring before reception into prison
If a report is made under rule 114(1) by an officer in relation to a person liable to be detained in a young offenders institution who is moved from that institution to any prison, or a person detained in any prison who is moved to any other prison, and the suspected breach comes to the reporting officer’s notice within 3 days (or 4 days if that period would include a Sunday or a public holiday) of the day on which the person is moved from the institution or prison concerned, the Governor of the prison to which the person is moved may, if there was insufficient time to investigate and adjudicate the matter at the institution or prison concerned, receive the report and deal with the matter as if it had occurred after reception of the person in that prison.
If a report is made under rule 114(1) by an officer in relation to a person detained in a young offenders institution who is moved to a prison, or a person detained in any prison who is moved to any other prison, and the suspected breach related to a period during which the person was in the course of being moved, the Governor of the prison to which the person is moved shall receive the report and deal with the matter as if it had occurred after reception of the person in that prison.
If, following reception on a transfer from another prison, a prisoner is charged with a breach of discipline contrary to paragraph (y) of Schedule 1 in circumstances where–
the controlled drug specified in the relevant charge may have been administered to the prisoner before reception in the prison; but
the prisoner was detained in a prison throughout the period during which the drug might have been administered,
the Governor may deal with that matter in accordance with this Part of these Rules as if the controlled drug, which it is alleged was administered, had been administered whilst the prisoner was in the prison to which he or she has been transferred.
Where–
a prisoner who provided a sample in accordance with rule 107 was at that time an untried prisoner;
the prisoner was detained in a prison throughout the period during which the drug might have been administered;
following an analysis of the sample there are grounds for believing that the prisoner was guilty of a breach of discipline contrary to paragraph (x) of Schedule 1; and
following the provision of the sample the prisoner is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment,
the Governor of the prison to which the prisoner is committed following conviction may deal with the charge in accordance with this Part of these Rules irrespective of whether the controlled drug, which it is alleged was administered, had been administered whilst the prisoner was in the prison to which the prisoner has been committed.
