Prison Service Instructions (PSI's)

Prison Service Instructions are mandatory instructions which have a definite expiry date. They are also used to introduce amendments to Prison Service Orders. PSIs are numbered with the year of publication, followed by 'hyphen'  followed by 3 digits  (eg. PSI2007-001). If you want to search by number please ensure you include the year part. Only PSIs published since 2007 are included on this site.
