answer text

In 2017 the Crown Prosecution Service issued guidance that potting offences (throwing of excreta) to the face or head should be prosecuted under Section 24 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. It is not possible to identify court proceedings made for the specific offence of throwing excreta at prison staff from within the broader offence of “Cause administer poison/noxious things with intent to injure/aggrieve/annoy” (nor is it possible to distinguish who was the victim of the offence). Detailed information may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.
