Working with Prisoners, their Families and Children

Imprisonment disrupts families and while research suggests people who offend are very often the children of offenders, there is very little support for children who have a parent in prison. If prisoners can keep up their family links while in prison, they are less likely to re-offend. A list of our current projects are shown below:
