Prison law

Being in prison can be a very worrying time even if you have been subject to imprisonment on a previous occasion.

Beswicks Solicitors offer a complete range of services to those who have had their liberty taken away.

We are able to deal with all legal issues arising in prisons such as eligibility to be transferred to another establishment and re-categorisation to a prison where the regime is less onerous.

Other common problems suffered by inmates include refusal of home detention curfew (HDC) and issues relating to release on temporary licence (ROTL).

We have widespread experience of dealing with adjudications before the outside adjudicator and in making representations at hearings before the prison governor.  

Beswicks provide extensive advice to prisoners located all over the country and we are one of the small number of criminal practices with a specialist team who have expertise in this area.

We aim to understand the needs of each client we represent and offer a personal service.

Prison rules and regulations can often be very complicated. We can help guide you through the prison system and offer the best advice whilst you are imprisoned. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require assistance.
