Hi
I have a family member who’s taken in for GBH not sure if its with intent or without. How do I find where he is being held at? He has a hearing next week and trial next month. He’s been denied bail and his remanded at the present moment in time.
Hello I recently got a friend from south London that got into prison but I don’t know which prison he got into pls help me out.
Where is HMP Broadway located?
HMP Broadway doesn’t exist
Hello, I have a question: How do I find a relative who is in prison in London, but the police won’t tell me where he is? It’s frustrating
Hi,
Follow this link for the info you require, its on the site. In reality, if your friend has been convicted its unlikely the police will know where he is anyway

What crimes are Cat A?
Prisoners are not “rated” by their crimes, but on the risk they represent. A Cat A prisoner is a “Prisoner whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or the police or the security of the state and for whom the aim must be to make escape impossible.”
Prison staff continually monitor the risk factors for a prisoner, and for a higher risk inmates the Parole Board will have to formally meet to approve a early release when appropriate. The vast majority of those who have committed a serious crime, such as murder, will be Cat B as most murderers do it only once, and often to somebody they knew; only those who are prolific unreformed(able) are Cat A.
Question:
where do those from London Boroughs get sent to prison?
Depends on what the crime was. Cat A prisoners will be sent to Belmarsh, lower risk offenders will be sent to which ever prison in the London Region has spare capacity without much (any) consideration of which is nearest to the prisoners family etc.
