Intervene is a registered legal charity, established by Kesar and Co Solicitors in 2013. We are staffed by a full-time Manager and numerous passionate volunteers. We currently support up to 500 people in prison at any one time who have suffered mistreatment and abuse during their sentence. Following LASPO 2012, the demand for our service is greater than ever. People in prison have been amongst the hardest hit by the relentless wave of legal aid cuts, which has only got worse since the COVID19 pandemic and cost of living crisis.  We are working relentlessly to plug the gap.

We provide free legal advice, often supporting people in prison who wish to bring civil claims or seek remedies after their human rights have been breached. Our mission is to ensure no one who faces abuse whilst detained is left unrepresented. On behalf of our clients we may pursue formal apologies and  investigations of allegedly abusive prison staff; demand improved prison conditions, healthcare, mental healthcare, nutrition, education and employment opportunities; secure compensation and damages; submit Letters Before Claim; and file civil claims in the county court.

We are an unfunded charity who relies on the support of the public to continue.
