How individuals are affected by incarceration

Many relationships break down while one partner is in prison. This web site doesn’t pretend to have the answers, or even the questions, which must be addressed between those involved. There are many excellent organisations who will be able to provide help and guidance such as Relate, or the Samaritans, but these issues are way beyond the scope of this web site. There is will be an “At Risk” telephone hotline available for visitors, families or friends of prisoners. This can be used to contact and inform staff at the prison if you believe that a prisoner may be at risk of harm, be it self harm, harm from others of harm to others.
