This area covers how a prison sentence is decided and what happens after it is imposed, from length and type of custody to any ongoing restrictions. A solicitor practising in prison sentencing represents the client at the sentencing hearing, challenges the length or conditions of the sentence through appeals, and guides the client through recall to prison, parole, or licence processes once custody ends. They also handle related matters such as mitigating factors, communication with the Prison Service and the parole board, and ensuring rights are protected throughout the process.
A solicitor handles the procedural steps and the legal arguments around the imposition or adjustment of a prison sentence, including appeals against sentence, reductions for mitigating circumstances, and applying for reductions or varied terms. They also deal with recall to prison, parole considerations, licence restrictions, and ongoing adjustments to conditions while in custody, coordinating with custodial authorities, the Probation Service, and the Parole Board to safeguard the client’s interests.
