Please support our Christmas Appeal

This Christmas thousands of British people face terrible conditions and severe isolation in prisons around the world. They need your help - some just need to know someone remembers them, for others it could be a matter of life and death.

We really need your support

Welcome to Prisoners Abroad

Prisoners Abroad is the only UK charity caring for the welfare of all 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.
