Prisoner takes action for sanction over alleged phone possession

A prisoner at Wheatfields prison is to challenge the decision to cut 14 days off his remission after a mobile phone was found in his cell.

Wayne Wallace, who the High Court was told is serving a seven-year sentence at Wheatfields prison, was yesterday granted leave to seek judicial review a decision taken by the prison Governor in June of this year to cut 14 days off his period of remission and to remove all prison privileges for 28 days after the mobile phone was found in his cell.
