Spratt in solitary confinement in prison

Police Taser victim Kevin Spratt had been transferred from a psychiatric facility to a prison as he faced a string of new offences and could apply for bail next week, a Perth court has heard.

Spratt, 44, was arrested days after police officers Aaron Grant Strahan and Troy Gregory Tomlin were convicted of assaulting him by repeatedly tasering him at the East Perth Watch House in August 2008.

Spratt is facing 10 charges including assaulting a public officer, obstructing public officers, stealing and aggravated burglary.

His lawyer, Mal Cooke, told the Perth Magistrates Court on Friday that Spratt had been discharged from the Frankland Centre at Graylands Hospital on Tuesday "largely because of pressure on beds".

A psychiatrist recommended Spratt be held in the crisis care unit of Hakea Prison, but he had been in solitary confinement instead, the court heard.

Mr Cooke said Spratt was likely to make a bail application next week.

Spratt is seeking compensation over the tasering incident.
