answer text

A decision that a court should sit within a prison when a defendant refuses to attend court in person or by video link is for the judiciary. If such a decision is made HMCTS , in conjunction with HMPPS Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service makes the necessary arrangements. The Court has no legal power to direct a prison officer (including a Governor) to use force or to compel a prisoner to attend court.
