Hello and welcome to ukprisonlaw.com!

This website is intended as an educational resource about prison law in England and Wales. It is not intended to be an overview of the prison system. It is a source of information about prison law issues.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. If you are looking for legal advice, a solicitor should be the place you turn.

Below is an index of the areas of prison law which will be discussed and explained on this website. Online resources, caselaw, legislation and current issues shall also be explored in due course.

I hope you find this a helpful resource!
