Everyone’s
guide to the English criminal courts
This book has been written for those
who find a member of the family in trouble with the law, or for those who have
an interest in the working of the English Courts of Law. Most of us, who have
never committed a crime, have no idea what to expect. Much of the book has
been written in a question and answer format. The questions are based on those
the author has been asked while working with the families of offenders.
70,000 men are in our prisons;
70,000 families have to live with this fact and the consequences it brings to
the families. Although both men and women are resident in English prisons this
book has been written as if for the male prisoner, this is to avoid the
annoyance of repeated “he/she” throughout the book. A short section on
“Women in Prison” has been included near the end of this book.
Every effort has been made to check
that information is correct, however the law changes, and each prison is
different and there maybe minor discrepancies though I have made every effort
to check my facts.
