Details

Prison law practice is expanding, particularly as the impact of legislative changes is realised in greater breach proceedings and appeals to the Parole Board against licence recall. As criminal practitioners become more involved in events post original sentence, the book will be an invaluable guide to other problems frequently encountered by prisoners, such as parole reviews, adjudications, security categorisation, and complaints.

This practical step-by-step guide provides practitioners with:

up-to-date changes to sentencing
early release and release on licence
Parole Board and recall hearings
funding issues
remedies and redress
procedural guidance.

Prison Law is the ideal first source of reference when tackling any prison related case. A user friendly guide for criminal law practitioners, it sets out complex material in a clear and easily accessible style with helpful checklists, good practice tips and reference to the key documents.

1. The prison system; 2. Legal aid; 3. Categorisation and allocation; 4. Prison discipline;5. Release and parole; 6. Requests and complaints procedure; 7. Remedies; 8. Conclusion; Appendices.
