PSO 4630 Page 11Those subject to protection from harassment procedures under PSO 4400 chapter2.5.2 DEPMU handles both management of the population held in the Immigration RemovalCentres, and the detainee escorting contracts.5.3 DEPMU will require a risk assessment to enable them to consider an immigration detaineefor transfer from a prison to a Removals Centre. The prison may therefore on occasions beasked to complete form IS91RA (supplied by the Border and Immigration Agency) in orderto allow DEPMU to risk assess the subject‟s suitability for a transfer. The form requestsinformation concerning the subject‟s behaviour in prison, and all relevant information,including adjudications, should be disclosed.5.4 Categorisation of immigration detainees is covered in the National Security Framework(NSF). Hyperlink to NSF.Provision of Information.6.1 It is important that the BIA is made aware of a potential case as early as possible tofacilitate the speedy handling. (See paragraphs 1.6 and 1.14). BIA processes include:Considering the case with a view to deportation or administrative removal.Determining a subject‟s current immigration status and his/her nationality andidentity where unclear.Considering applications for leave to remain or asylum in the United Kingdom.Passing appeals to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal for consideration (CourtsService).Submitting Deportation Orders to the Border and Immigration Agency ChiefExecutive for signature.Securing the necessary travel documentation for the subject‟s removal.6.2 The BIA needs information to enable full consideration of cases to determine whether aperson is liable to deportation or administrative removal from the United Kingdom. Thisinformation may include:a copy of the Nominal Index Card (NIC),Order of Imprisonment,Court Certificate,police reports,pre-sentence reports,the judge‟s sentencing remarks,and assessment reports completed whilst the prisoner is serving sentence (i.e. riskassessments/adjudications).6.3 Sometimes the Border and Immigration Agency may need to interview the prisoner orrequest the completion of a questionnaire to determine current status.6.4 If you, as a member of staff at a prison, are asked to serve Immigration documents on aprisoner or detainee, you should read Annex B carefully before doing so.Case allocation within the Border and Immigration Agency.7.1 Criminal cases where the sentence is twelve months or less are currently kept by theoriginal port or local enforcement office. See list of ports and enforcement offices attachedIssue No 287 Issue date 11/01/08
PSO 4630 Page 12at Annex F. However, ports and local enforcement offices sometimes arrange the removalof subjects on behalf of the Criminal Casework Directorate in Croydon once the DeportationOrder has been signed by the Minister.7.2 The detention of individuals not being considered for deportation (i.e. those who may besubject to administrative removal) is overseen and reviewed by the Management ofDetained Cases Unit (MODCU) after 28 days beyond completion of the custodial sentence.Continued detention is reviewed at 28 days and every 28 days thereafter.7.3 Enquiries about case management should be routed in the first instance to the port or localenforcement office; the MODCU duty officer (Tel: 0113 386 5780) is the contact point forenquiries relating purely to notification of detention reviews (form IS151F).7.4 The Criminal Casework Directorate (CCD) handles cases being considered for deportationwhere the prison sentence is over 12 months either in one sentence or as an aggregate oftwo or more sentences over a period of five years, or EEA nationals who have a sentenceof 24 months or more. CCD reviews detention on its own cases, MODCU has no role inthese. (CCD‟s contact details can be found at Annex A).Escorting Immigration Detainees.8.1 Prison Governors are responsible for producing prisoners (those still serving a prisonsentence). Governors will need to liaise with the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) –for further information see PSO 4625 Productions in Civil Proceedings (hyperlink). Prisonsshould invite the AIT to consider using Video link equipment where it is available andtechnically possible.8.2 BIA is responsible for producing immigration detainees (those held solely under immigrationpowers) for immigration hearings. Detainees for these hearings will be produced by theBIA‟s escort contractor.The Early Removal Scheme (ERS) and release on licence of those prisoners liable todeportation. (Chapter 9 of PSO 6000)9.1 Under current statutory provisions most foreign national prisoners subject to deportation oradministrative removal from the United Kingdom and who are serving a determinatesentence of three months and over will be eligible for early removal.9.2 However, prisoners who are serving an extended sentence will not be eligible for ERS.Prisoners who cannot be removed, for reasons such as asylum application or inability toobtain travel documentation, will also be ineligible.9.3 Prisoners who are removed under the ERS and who return to the United Kingdom duringthe currency of their sentence are unlawfully at large and liable to be arrested and returnedto custody to serve a period of imprisonment equivalent to the period spent on ERS.9.4 The criteria for the early removal or release of deportees, set by the Secretary of State,focus on the need to protect the public from serious harm and the prevention of furtheroffending. Please see Chapter 9 of PSO6000 (Parole, Release and Recall Manual) forfurther information about the Early Removal Scheme or the release arrangements (someaspects of which have been updated by PSI 28/2006) in respect of determinate sentenceprisoners who are liable to deportation or administrative removal from the UK.Issue No 287 Issue date 11/01/08
