Description

In October 2018, Prisons Minister Rory Stewart announced that officers in adult-male prisons would be equipped with PAVA: a synthetic pepper spray, which temporarily incapacitates those it is used on. Now government has released a report on PAVA’s pilot in 4 prisons last year. We go over the key findings and Solicitor and prison law expert Claire Salama tells us what you can do if you think PAVA has been misused. We also answer another question about Home Detention Curfew.
