For the people who do return to the UK after release, the connection to Prisoners Abroad may be all they have.

And for the family members affected by the overseas imprisonment of a relative, the burden is often hidden - but no less heavy and challenging to carry.

In this short film, we hear from three family members - Angie, Cath and Sarah - about the impact that long-term imprisonment has had on them.

Creating a safe, non-judgemental space for shared experiences.

Prisoners Abroad helps family members affected by a loved one’s imprisonment by providing one to one support as well as hosting family support groups around the country and arranging overseas visits.
