Prisoners are categorised and this will dictate the type of prison they are in during their sentence. If you have a loved one in prison who is coming up to a categorisation review our expert team can assist with making a strong case for a downgrade in security status. Getting the right advice at the beginning of the sentence may be the deciding factor in getting released earlier.

The Sentence Plan is the foundation for a person’s progress through the prison system. It helps to avoid serious harm and focus on their release and going back to a normal life when they are free to do so.
Engagement in a Sentence Plan can help to get a prisoner categorised at a lower level. If successfully completed it may improve a prisoner’s application before the Parole Board. Ultimately, downgrades in category status and completion of a Sentence Plan can result in progression through the Prison System. For those subject to the Parole process resolution of Sentence Plan issues early on may have an impact on a Parole Board’s decision to release.
