[2004] EWHC 1817 (Admin)

The grading of a prisoner into an appropriate category was to be based on the likelihood of escape and the risk to the public if the escape was successful; other considerations such as the prospect of adverse publicity and the state of the prisoner's financial resources were not justifiable factors. There was no right for a prisoner serving a determinate sentence to make representations prior to categorisation decisions.
