Our Mission
Progressive Prisoner Reform
Prison Link is set up to support Black and Asian offenders, and their families, to help deter them from, or reducing the risk of further custodial sentence.
Covering Birmingham and Sandwell, we work with over 300 offenders each year but as a limited company and not for profit.
Our Aim
Our core business is resettling offenders back into society and back into their families who may have rejected them. After committing an offence and going into a prison a person can become stigmatised; this is commonly the case in the tightly-knit communities that prison link provide support to.
