• (b) it is necessary or expedient for some other reason for the charge to be inquired into by the adjudicator.

it appears to the governor either that the charge is so serious that additional days could be awarded for the offence or that it is necessary or expedient for some other reason for the charge to be inquired into by the adjudicator, the governor must act in accordance with paragraph (2)(a)(i) to (iii).

• (4) Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the adjudicator must inquire into any charge referred in accordance with paragraph (3) no later than 28 days after the referral.

• (2) When requiring an inmate to provide a sample an officer shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, inform the inmate—

• (a) that he is being required to provide a sample in accordance with section 16B of the Prison Act 1952; and

• (b) that a refusal to provide a sample may lead to disciplinary proceedings being brought against him.

• (3) An officer requiring a sample shall make such arrangements and give the inmate such instructions for its provision as may be reasonably necessary in order to prevent or detect its adulteration or falsification.

• (4) Subject to paragraph (5) an inmate who is required to provide a sample may be kept apart from other inmates for a period not exceeding one hour to enable arrangements to be made for the provision of the sample.

• (5) A compensation requirement may be imposed instead of or in addition to any punishment imposed under rule 60, 60A or 65.

Determination of mode of inquiry in a coronavirus period

58B

• (1) This rule applies during a coronavirus period.

• (2) Where a charge has been referred to an adjudicator under rule 58A or rule 63(3)(b) and the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) considers that because of the effects of coronavirus it is not reasonably practicable for the charge to be—

• (a) first inquired into by an adjudicator in accordance with rule 58(3)(b) or rule 58A(3); or

• (b) continued to be inquired into by an adjudicator,

the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) may refer the charge back to the governor as soon as possible for the governor to inquire into it.

• (3) A charge referred back to the governor under paragraph (2) shall be first inquired into by the governor not later, save in exceptional circumstances, than 14 days after the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) referred the charge back.

• (4) A charge inquired into by the governor under paragraph (2) is not to be treated as one being inquired into by an adjudicator, and accordingly the governor cannot impose a punishment under rule 60A (adjudicator's punishments).

• (5) This rule applies to an inmate who has been charged with having committed an offence against discipline and referred to an adjudication under rule 58A or 63(3)(b) before the date on which the rule came into force in the same way as it applies to an inmate who has been charged with having committed an offence against discipline on or after that date.
