HC Deb 02 July 1964 vol 697 c272W
67. Miss Bacon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under which prison rule prisoners awaiting appeals are deprived of association.

Mr. Brooke

For a limited time at the beginning of their sentence it is the practice as a precautionary measure to segregate recidivist prisoners sentenced to more than four years' imprisonment, whether or not they are appellants. This is done under Prison Rule 43.
