I have asked MikeEwart, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond.His response is asfollows:Section 16 and 17of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 entitles victims who have opted intothe Victim Notification Scheme to be told when a prisoner first meets the criteriaduring their sentence which makes him or her eligible to be accorded temporary release(which may include transfer to an open prison). The transfer date, which is later,is not subsequently notified.
