Does an inmate get his jail sentace shortend if a jail guard beats him up?
Lets say that a person was sentanced to 50 years in jail. It’s his first year, and a jail guard comes up and knocks him out cold. Will the inmate get acouple years off his sentance?
No, never! Instead, the prisoner may press charges against the offending officer provided that the correctional services will permit an official visitor (OV) to hear your grievances. In Commonwealth nations under the British English Law system, there are governmental civil service institutional structures in place which would hear grievances against HMS prisons.
The person in charge for hearing grievances for abuses whilst under HMS prisons (correctional serives institutions) or under government custody, are called ‘Ombudsmen’. The office of the Ombudsman will listen and will exercise the full force of the law in ensuring that substantive justice is adhered with. If there is some obstructions, obfuscation of the law, and the circumvention of the justice system, through the actions of Correctional Services officers, and the subsequent denial of all charges combined with a collective ‘neither confirm nor deny’ culture, a inclusive cabal exists within certain institutions albeit the correctional services. In such an instance, then your word will have to add weight with the support of an Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman is very influential provided that you situation prima facie is solid. No matter who heinous your crime and your conviction may be, under law, and this is based fundamentally on the fact that you are a rational cognisant human being, you have the right to seek substantive justice, notwithstanding, your incarceration and imprisonment status.
You could always appeal to the United Nations if you feel that you are banging your head against the wall.
