Forms for prisoners

Initial Visit

Our Authorisation Form is the single most important form for Prisoners Abroad. Signing and returning it to us is the only way for prisoners to register with us. Without registering with us, prisoners are not eligible to receive any of our services. The form allows us to discuss details of the case with the Foreign Office, and to store their details on our database.

It should be clearly explained to new prisoners during the initial visit that they will only be able to access our financial grants and other services if they register with us. Please make sure that all prisoners who are British Citizens receive our Authorisation Form at the earliest available opportunity. However, only British Citizens should be given these forms - unfortunately our services are not available to people who hold other forms of British nationality.

Our Craig Feehan Fund is available to prisoners held in developing countries. If you are visiting someone who is destitute and has no other sources of income they may be eligible for regular payments from this fund to help provide essentials such as clothing and toiletries. The form below should be completed by the prisoner and returned to Prisoners Abroad.

In addition to these two forms, prisoners should also be given our General Leaflet for Prisoners. This general leaflet gives an overview of what kinds of services Prisoners Abroad is able to provide to prisoners.

Lastly, the Contact with Family & Friends form is for prisoners to provide us with contact details of any family member / friend that they wish us to get in contact with. We will only discuss prisoners' cases with their family / friends if their contact details have been provided to us in this way.

Prisoners Abroad can assist prisoners in paying for essential medical and dental treatment not provided by prison authorities. When applying for a Medical Fund grant, please supply a written estimate of cost of treatment from the dentist or doctor. If applying after treatment, please supply a receipt.
