It can be very difficult to manage your financial affairs while you're in prison so Zak & Emma are looking at a couple of possible solutions.
3rd Party Mandates are a way of giving a trusted person limited access to your bank or building society so they may be able to do simple things such as check balances and pay bills for you. Power of Attorney is a legal document and usually give the attorney much more control, these are normally set up when a person can no longer make sound decisions on their own
Zak & Emma explore the differences and restrictions and relate this to being in a prison environment
