Justice Minister Jerome Kennedy says a worker at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary (HMP) inappropriately left the courts with the impression counselling services are available to remand inmates.

There is a policy in place, Kennedy said today, but it is not implemented because it is impractical given the constraints of the prison and lack of resources.

...

Kennedy said it was learned the policy was in place since 1987, was reaffirmed in 2001, but can’t be followed.

Kinda like the 30-day rule?
