Specialist consultancy on life imprisonment, indeterminate detention, and the rights and experiences of prisoners and their families.
Drawing on lived experience and professional knowledge, we bring a practical understanding of prison life together with expertise where prison policy and practice, law, mental health and trauma meet.
Breadth of experience that lets us look at complex issues through both an individual and a systemic lens.
We recognise the interplay between legal frameworks, institutional practices, mental health and the wider impact of imprisonment, and we bring all of it to the cases we work on.
We work with legal practitioners and other professionals on complex cases, supporting litigation and advocacy.
What life inside actually looks like, and how it bears on the person and the case.
Spotting the patterns in policy and practice that sit behind an individual case.
How the realities of imprisonment can inform legal arguments, evidence and wider case strategy.
Matters we support include discriminatory policies and practices, arbitrary detention, procedural unfairness, institutional harm and structural failings within prison systems.
Domestic and international work, including proceedings with international and comparative perspectives.
