The women’s prison project has been running since March 2022 and has assisted over 100 clients across the prison estate, including HMP Bronzefield, HMP Send, HMP Styal, HMP Eastwood Park, HMP Downview, HMP Low Newton, HMP Foston Hall, HMP New Hall and HMP Peterborough.  The project has led to numerous successful appeals and Judicial Reviews and given rise to lead judgments such as  AA v SSHD [2025] EWHC 3404 (Admin) and more recently Vargova and Molnar v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2026] EWCA Civ 31
