criminal justice

I am interested in hearing from parents of autistic adults who are involved in the criminal justice system.

Parents
  • More info?  I could write a book! Our autistic son was 'entrapped' by an online undercover police operation. He has now been tried, found guilty and is serving a three year prison sentence. That was in November. Since then he has been in three prisons. We have had telephone contact but have been unable to arrange a visit and now in his third prison we haven't even had phone contact. We think because he can't manage the bureaucracy or doing all the form filling three times and because the prison staff do not understand him or his needs. But we can't find anything out or help him. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. He can't be the only one. Surely?

  • Velvet - you most definitely are not the only ones and nor is your Son. Very similar situation to us except no outcome yet !  Don’t know if you can pm me ?
