Compensation claims made by inmates of Welsh prisons

The request was partially successful.

Dear HM Prison Service,

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Could you please supply me with with details of claims for compensation made by inmates of Welsh prisons over the past two years (i.e. 2014/15 and 2015/16)

Providing it does not exceed the FoI cost to retrieve this information, could you provide a specific breakdown of:

Individual prisons
What the claims were for
How much they were for
Whether they were successful
And if you are able and it does not breach the data protection guidelines, the identifies of those who made claims, and what they claimed for.

If this request exceeds the FoI cost, could you restrict the request for details with regards to Swansea Prison?
Similarly, if the request exceeds the cost limit, could you restrict it to the last year for which information is available?
If the request is within the cost limit, could you provide information going back the past five years?
If figures are not available for 2015/16, could you please instead provide figures for 20/13/14

Could you please send acknowledgement you have received this request please?

Many thanks for your help with this.

Yours faithfully,
