Prison Assessments
We coordinate independent medical examinations (IMEs) for individuals in correctional settings, ensuring that logistics and compliance with correctional protocols are handled efficiently.
The process for prison assessments
Prison Assessments are physical or psychological evaluations conducted on individuals in custody. These assessments are often requested by legal professionals, insurers, government bodies, or corrections departments to assist with:
- Legal proceedings (e.g. fitness to plead, criminal responsibility)
- Parole applications or sentencing considerations
- Duty of care evaluations for correctional services
- Injury, illness or mental health claims related to time in custody
- Capacity and cognitive function assessments
- Independent reviews of treatment or complaints within the correctional system
These assessments are impartial and evidence-based, and they form part of a medico-legal report that can be used in court or tribunal settings.
To ensure confidentiality and accessibility, we offer secure assessments via Telehealth for those at home and connect with individuals in correctional facilities.
