Community Members

PLS lawyers can generally only provide advice and take instructions directly from people in prison.

We know how hard it can be for people in prison to contact us. For this reason, we offer a call back service for friends and family of people in prison.

If you would like to make an enquiry on behalf of someone in prison, please complete the enquiry form on this page.

Please include your email address, telephone number and details of the legal problem that you need information about.

Your enquiry will be reviewed by a PLS lawyer and you will receive a response either by email or by telephone.

Please note:

Telephone call backs in response to online enquiries will generally take place on Monday evenings between 6pm-8pm.

We do not answer calls between 6pm-8pm. You need to complete the online enquiry form to receive a call back or email response.

PLS can only help with prison and parole issues. We cannot help with criminal charges.
