Index and notes
This page lists all current prison service instructions (PSIs). Since 2019, all new prison operational policies are published as policy frameworks.
If the PSI you want is not listed here, check the PSI index. This document lists every PSI issued and includes details of those which have been cancelled, updated or replaced by a policy framework. The index also includes the most up-to-date contact details for the owner of each PSI.
A PSI remains in force until it is formally cancelled, even if the document has passed its expiry date.
Some PSIs are not published here because they are restricted or sensitive. HR and other staff-related PSIs are not published here but are available on your departmental intranet.
If you have any questions about the contents on this page or would like an electronic copy of a cancelled policy, please , email ops3@justice.gov.uk.
