Support and Advice for Families Affected by Imprisonment
When someone goes to prison it can be a challenging time for the whole family. At Families Outside we are here to provide you and your family with information and support regarding any issues you might be facing as a result of your family member’s imprisonment. We can help you
- To understand what will happen at different stages of the justice process following your family member’s arrest
- To stay in touch with your family member while they are in prison
- To support any children and young people in your family at this challenging time
- To access the support available to you from the prison and other relevant organisations
If you are looking for information or support, please contact our helpline on 0800 254 0088 or [email protected].
