Recommendations alleged mistreatment in prison

[Scot22]

A climate activist received a short prison sentence. He alleges that he was mistreated, e.g 2 ribs broken, whilst inside. Had he any way of getting compensation for unacceptable treatment.
Leaving aside political issues I would be interested in finding out possible redress for alleged wrongdoing by officers and management. Thanks.

Mistreatment by prison officers or other inmates?

[Scot22]

Prison officers not inmates.

[dslippy]

He has a right to sue - always assuming that the injuries occurred as the result of tortious behaviour by the prison officers.

[Scot22]

What I was thinking. Appreciate your opinion. Anyone on forum who could recommend suitable no win no fee ?

Is there proof independent witnesses

[Scot22]

Very difficult in that environment. Otherwise unlikely to happen, if it did. I'm being very careful.
