Hi, new here, my partner is coming to the end of a long sentence, and I just wanted some advice please. He was given cat D status at the beginning of April, was even told where he was going and that they were expecting him, four months later and he is still waiting to be transferred, this can't be right. Anything anyone can do . Thank you

I would imagine its luck of the draw as to when he will be moved, I've read of people waiting months for transfer after their security status has been reduced, particuarly when moving from Cat C to Cat D as there are relativly few Cat D places. Has he asked why the hold up?

Unfortunately this will be about having the place available and enough staff/transport to facilitate the move. Prisons do things on their own terms in their own time. You could write to the Governor but I suspect you won't get much out of it. I'm sorry. It's just so frustrating. X

Thank you for the replies. Frustrating is putting it mildly, especially when he sees others given cat D and transferred within the week. Yes he has asked what the problem is, and says he gets very vague replies, certainly not constructive answers.
