Morning all. We have had some bad news regarding James Costello. He has asked us to make this public because he wants people to know what he’s facing.
James has received a result from his application to be downgraded to a category C prisoner (from a category B prisoner). The result is, according to the letter given to James, that he will NOT be moved down to category C. The letter explains various ways that James is a model prisoner and that he hasn’t done anything wrong, but vaguely alludes to “circumstances not entirely within his control” that cause some concern. James is also being forced to have a psychological evaluation which cannot happen until May next year.
The other prisoners James has told are flabbergasted, but as always, James is taking it all in his stride and staying his usual stoical self.
TL;DR: James Costello has been denied a recategorisation which would have granted him a nicer prison and more freedoms and privileges, and he’s been told it’s nothing to do with his behaviour but is instead because of things outside of his control.
