Prison Law looks after the rights of prisoners. The imprisonment of a person can be a worrying and distressing time. Whether you are a long-term prisoner or have only just been detained and are worried about what your rights and privileges are whilst detained, then you do not have to look any further. We appreciate the emotional distress caused to you and your family during such times. That is why choosing the right solicitors that are experts in prison law will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

Prison law addresses the rights and entitlements of prisoners during their sentence. It is one of the most challenging areas of law to deal with, not least because of the enormous implications that any issue affecting a person can have on their progression and ultimate release.
Our prison law solicitors understand that serving a prison sentence can be a frustrating and confusing time for both prisoners and their families. Prisoners often feel powerless when they first arrive in prison and do not know who to turn to for help. They often feel deserted and not everyone has family to rely upon or the necessary emotional support to cope with the daily demands of prison life.
Our prison law lawyers really understand the system and our primary aim is to resolve an issue in an understandable manner that achieves the best possible outcome for the prisoner and their family.
