Perdita is correct. Steve grassed him up so any chance he had of being moved to an open prison was removed at that point also.

No doubt we are only getting these prison scenes because the producer regrets Rob being written into a corner. It just wouldn't have been feasible to get him out like they did Tracy Barlow. To leave at least a little room for manoeuvre, they shouldn't have had the lead pipe twist so that Rob could have had a manslaughter charge.

I do like Rob and I hope it is confined to his sending out visiting orders, not some convoluted thing where Carla suddenly ends up in prison for the fire so that he can be involved in more scenes. That would at least distinguish it from Jim's storyline a little.
