The imposition of a custodial sentence is the finality of criminal proceedings for many. However, we recognise that for the offender and their family it is only the start of a process leading to their eventual return into the community.
We have a dedicated Prison Law department, which has been awarded a Specialist contract by the Legal Services Commission. Consequently we are proud to boast one of the busiest and leading Prison Law practices in the midlands.
Numerous issues can, and often do arise throughout sentence. We advise, assist and provide representation to clients in prisons throughout the midlands in a whole range of issues, including:-
- Sentence Calculation
- Accessing Offending Behaviour Courses
- Sentence Progression
- Licence Conditions
- Security Categorisation and transfer to open conditions
- Early Release
- Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL)
- Licence Conditions
- Home Detention Curfew
- Revocation of Licence and Recall to Prison (Licence Recall)
- Oral Hearings before the Parole Board
- Prison Disciplinary Proceedings
- Independent Adjudication Hearings
- Indeterminate Sentenced Prisoners (Lifers / IPP's)
We accept instructions subject to public and private funding.
Public funding may be available for advice and assistance / advocacy assistance representation.
