We really need your support

Welcome to Prisoners Abroad

Prisoners Abroad is the only UK charity caring for the welfare of British prisoners held in foreign prisons.

Right now we are supporting over 1,000 prisoners in 87 countries across all five continents. Many are held in conditions that seriously threaten their mental and physical health.

With your help, our work can literally save lives.

It's actually about the difference you can make... if you help people, you give them a second chance. Pauline Crowe, Chief Excecutive.
