Wrongful Convictions: Using the Criminal Appeal System

The legal charity APPEAL will act to challenge miscarriages of justice arising out of the courts in England and Wales. They do not charge clients for legal representation.

They will support women who:

• Want to appeal a sentence for a minor, non-violent crime
• Maintain that they are innocent
• Have been convicted of harming or killing someone who abused them
• Didn't have their mental health properly considered when sentenced

You can find out how to get help from APPEAL here, or write to them at:

APPEAL,
Lion House,
72-75 Red Lion Street (6th Floor),
London,
WC1R 4NA

Please include information on your offence and sentence and a copy of any documents you have relating to your case.

If writing from prison remember to mark the envelope with "RULE 39" so it remains confidential.
