What is penitentiary law?

Penitentiary law plays an important role for inmates facing pre-trial detention, prison sentences or other custodial measures. This area of law governs the rights and obligations of inmates, their stay in an institution, and the execution of sentences. In this context, legal assistance from a lawyer can be crucial to ensure that a detainee's rights are safeguarded and properly enforced.

The rules and procedures surrounding detention are often legal-technical in nature. Without legal representation, it can be difficult for detainees to secure various rights. If you or a loved one is dealing with a correctional issue, a lawyer from Kötter, L'Homme & Plasman Lawyers can help you navigate legal procedures correctly and secure the best possible outcome.

Well-known criminal lawyer Peter Plasman has been equally "shocked and bewildered" by the news. ,,It is of course only a suspicion, but after all the commotion you may assume that the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) will not act overnight. The OM will think they have a strong case. For now, I assume the prosecution has thought carefully about this arrest. Arresting a lawyer is a very heavy step.'' Plasman also cannot get over the fact that a lawyer seems to have once again functioned as an errand boy.

Will a pedometer provide a definitive answer to the death of 30-year-old Laura from Leiden? The Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) thinks so, but the lawyer of the victim's ex, Jordi L'Homme, expects nothing from it, it appeared Monday morning during the fifth preliminary hearing against suspect Paul V.

Let the Public Prosecutor's Office handle the lighter cases itself. Then judges can focus on the heavier cases so that there are enough cells for the convicts who really belong there, argues attorney Peter Plasman.
