Prison Law Lawyer in Málaga

Being in prison does not mean nothing can be done. There are more options than most people think.

The prison system runs on its own rules, and knowing them inside out makes all the difference.

If a family member is in a Spanish prison, call me. I will explain what is possible.

I am Miriam Rosales,

The prison system has its own rules. Most people going inside for the first time don't know them. And from within prison, everything is slower and more complicated. My job is to take all of that off your shoulders and help you regain your freedom as soon as possible.

As your lawyer, I can apply for:

  • Initial third degree or a flexible regime
  • Temporary release permits, or an appeal if they are refused
  • Progression to third degree and parole
  • Transfer to a different prison
  • Complaints and appeals before the Prison Surveillance Court

English-speaking defence

You deal with me directly, in English

Whether it is about permits, parole or your grade, you talk to me in English and get a straight answer, without an interpreter between you and your own case.

From initial classification to conditional liberty: what I can do at each stage.

01

Initial classification

  • For serious offences, the prison board usually classifies you in first or second degree at the start. But that is not final.
  • If the classification is disproportionate or fails to take your personal circumstances into account, it can be appealed before the Prison Supervision Court.
  • An initial third-grade classification, or a quick reclassification, can mean the difference between serving your sentence inside or in open regime.
02

Release permits

  • Permits can be applied for from the first quarter of the sentence served, if the requirements are met.
  • A refused permit is not final: it must be reasoned, and if the reasoning is insufficient or incorrect, it can be appealed.
  • Many refusals are based on poorly constructed reports or inadequate arguments. My job is to make sure that does not happen.
03

Third grade and open regime

  • Third grade lets a prisoner leave during the day and return at night to the open centre (CIS). It is the most important step before release.
  • Securing third degree comes down to proving there is a reintegration programme in place, with a job or family placement, and supporting reports.
  • Putting that file together takes real work. I build it with you and give the prison everything it needs.
04

Conditional liberty

  • Parole can be granted after serving three quarters of the sentence. In certain specific cases, earlier.
  • It requires good conduct, satisfaction of any civil liability and a positive reintegration prognosis.
  • I approach every file as if it were unique, because it is. Your personal, professional and family circumstances matter, and knowing how to present them makes a real difference.

If you would like me to act as your solicitor, here is how it works:

Frequently asked questions

Generally, after serving half the sentence, with good behaviour and a concrete reintegration plan. There are exceptions: people over 70, those with serious illness, or cases where the Prison Supervision Court considers it appropriate. The key is preparing the file properly before applying, the timing matters less than the quality of what you submit.

Every case is different, so the fee depends on its complexity and which stage or stages of the proceedings you need representation for. You will always know the cost in advance, with no surprises. That way you only pay for the work you actually need, as the case progresses.

No. My base is on the Costa del Sol, but I act throughout Spain and collaborate on international cases alongside lawyers in other countries.

Yes. You can change solicitor at any point in the proceedings, including at the prison law stage. I handle the entire handover process so that it is straightforward and does not create unnecessary complications.
