As we await my son's sentencing on November 21st,it seems a real cliff edge.

He was sentenced in January for iioc & given 6 months suspended + community sentence,SHPO etc & SOR.

They came back for him in July for breach of SHPO (disputed) & other charges of other online incitement overseas. He has been on remand in the same prison since July 2nd.

He adjusted well to the prison regime & also feels he has 'friends' for the first time. So sad.

He is likely to receive 4+ years sentence & all our anxieties come flooding back. Media coverage,his safety & adjustment. The main question is, is he most likely to be moved to somewhere else?

Anyone give me advice?

Thankyou to all you lovely people. I was going to ring the help-line,but you are all so knowledgeable as well. X

If they are on remand in a Cat B prison, then they will probably be moved to a Cat C after sentencing.

Our son has stayed in the same prison he was remanded in. If he does the IHorizon course inside, he'll have to be transferred

He hopes to do the iHorizon course ,so may be transferred. He talks about Littlehaye in Cambridgeshire but I'm sure he can't choose!

Hi, in my experience, the ex was sent to a prison 20 minutes from where we lived on remand. Then suddenly, without warning, he was moved to a different prison 2 hours away. We weren't informed. I went to book a visit one day and he wasn't listed. You can imagine what I thought. I'm sorry, it's so stressful, x
