When sentencing a prisoner or member of the public the prison officer will say “By the powers given to me under Section 8 of the Prison Act 1952, you are under arrest for….”
An example for when someone has broken into the prison, "By the powers given to me under Section 8 of the Prison Act 1952, you are under arrest for trespassing in a restricted area which is under Section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, you will be receiving 5 months in prison."
The detainee does not have a right to a solicitor however, if you want to allow them one you can. We like to spontaneous nice roleplay taking place around HMP.
In the event of a serious incident such as Murder or Manslaughter please involve the MPD as a higher sentence should be given. HMP only gives the minimum sentences that MPD can give.
