The POA said "a rogue deputy governor" at HMP High Down selected the inmate for the panel and ignored concerns. It is understood that the justice secretary has also ordered a review of a policy allowing governors "discretion" over who sits on interview panels for staff. He said that "parading prison officers before prisoners on interview panels to determine their suitability for a particular role in their employment is not needed, or indeed appropriate".Steve Gillan said the deputy governor "has indicated that he intends to use this practice again""This sends the wrong message not only to prison officers, but the general public as well.
