Practice Area
Prison Law
Advice on prisoners' rights, conditions of detention, parole, sentence reviews and challenging unlawful detention.
Overview
Prison law is technical, time-limited and unforgiving of delay. Our consultants act for serving prisoners and their families across the full range of prison and parole matters.
How we help
- Parole Board hearings (oral and paper)
- Recall to prison challenges and re-release representations
- Adjudications (governor and independent)
- Categorisation, transfers and HDC applications
- Judicial review of unlawful decisions by the Prison Service
Time inside is time you don't get back. Effective prison-law representation can be the difference between release and another two years.
