Prison Law

HDC & ROTL

Applications for home detention curfew and release on temporary licence.

The Issue

Home Detention Curfew (HDC) allows eligible prisoners to serve part of their sentence in the community subject to an electronic tag, while Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) supports rehabilitation through temporary release for work, training, or family contact. Both involve detailed assessment and are frequently the subject of applications and representations. Specialist advice can help present the strongest case and challenge unfair refusals.

How We Help

There are a range of complex representations which we routinely deploy in such cases, including:

Preparing and submitting HDC and ROTL applications with supporting evidence

Challenges to refusal where the decision is unfair or poorly reasoned

Submissions on risk reduction, behaviour, and suitability for release

Liaison with prison offender managers to support progression
