Prisoners Abroad

Who we are

Help for prisoners and their families

Prisoners Abroad is a welfare charity that assists British citizens imprisoned overseas, and provides information and support to their families. If you’ve found out that someone you know has been arrested abroad, you can contact us on our Freephone helpline number 0808 172 0098. Our friendly team of caseworkers will be able to offer guidance, support and a listening ear.

What does Prisoners Abroad do for prisoners?

Each year we help around 1,800 British prisoners overseas and our work is different in each and every case. Sometimes, it might just be helping a prisoner keep in touch with their family by using our international freepost envelopes. For others, we might send reading materials or foreign language dictionaries to help reduce isolation.
