Dear Sir/ Madam,
I refer to your application for access to information under the Code on
Access to Information (“the Code”) to this Department on 13.12.2021 and our
interim reply to you on 20.12.2021.
In accordance with the Prison Rules (Cap. 234A of the Laws of Hong Kong),
CSD is empowered to impose separate confinement as punishment on persons in
custody (PICs) who have committed offences against prison discipline, and
to order the removal of PICs from association if the Department has
reasonable grounds for believing that it is desirable to do so for the
maintenance of good order or discipline or in the interests of PICs.
