Can my friend/relative serve their sentence in the UK?

Prisoner Transfer Agreements (PTAs) allow British prisoners to serve the remaining part of their sentence in the UK. Not all countries have PTAs in place but see our separate factsheet for more information on how this process works. Remember that your relative will only be able to apply to transfer to a UK prison once their sentence is final, and there are no appeals or fines outstanding.
