A lot of our work is responding to the immediate crises and need of those in prison overseas; the need for a survival grant so that someone can buy clean water, supplement meagre food rations in developing countries or buy a blanket to keep them warm; or requests for medical funds so that someone can access critical and life-saving medicine which means they can stay healthy and safe.

This is in contrast to the work we do offering longer term support so that people can maintain their mental wellbeing, helping them to deal with the stigma they face and to reduce the isolation they feel due to their circumstances. These things can take a huge toll on an individual whether it's the detainee, the friend, the parent or the spouse. 

We have broken down the impact of our support over the last year (2023-2024) into three videos, looking at our overseas, resettlement, and family services. Watch below to find out more...

Being offered a lifeline can change everything. 

Prisoners Abroad translates human rights law into practical life-saving actions by providing prisoners access to vitamins and essential food, emergency medical care, freepost envelopes to keep in touch with home and books and magazines to help sustain mental health.
