6 months Sentencing progression review and what likely can happen?
Hello,
I have a friend who was sentenced for 3 years last month. he was moved to category C prison (after being held in a cat B)
and I wanted to know how to better advise him, His solicitor said he shouldn't serve more than 40% (this is not taking into account the new law so it should be 33%) .
When he has his 6 months review , what's a more likely outcome-
A cat D or Tag for the other 6 months then the other 24 months (sorry not that familiar with how it works I've heard mix opinions ). For his level he told me he's on enhanced.
And if a Cat D , Is it easy to get into? if so, how early can he have home visits?
and if not, is it more likely hell spend a year in a cat C.
the barrister even told him he would be out by February or April at the latest (however I'm not if I can trust that)
Edit- Sorry not very fimilar with how it works in there so again extremely sorry for any information I'm missing out on and happy to also answer anything! Just wasn't sure how this sort of thing should be worded
