Prisoner escorting contract

Paul Rennie was Head of Custody Services for Serco in London & East of England from December 2011 to August 2013. He had "direct responsibility for 610 staff across 65 separate sites with responsibility for delivering an efficient and effective Custodial function, which meets the requirements of the Prisoner Escort Custody Services Contract in the London and East of England regions." Serco has since found evidence in those regions that prisoners had been recorded as delivered ready for court when they were not.
