Life sentence prisoners (lifers)
Life sentence prisoners are often entitled to a review to determine whether they are suitable for release. We can offer assistance at the Parole Board hearing and ensure that the prisoner’s review is carried out in the correct manner and following the correct procedure.

Recall prisoners and release on license
If you are released on license, and later recalled by the Probation Service we can offer representation and if required challenge the decision on your behalf. This can be in the form of a written application or at an oral hearing to the Parole Board. We offer assistance whether your recall is due to a further offence whilst on license, or is due to a technical breach.
