The majority of women in prison have suffered trauma and abuse which has been a driver to incarceration.
Imprisonment, by its nature, is dehumanising, isolating, and intimidating. This can impact mental and physical health, diminish hope, and reduce capacity to create change.
In this space Prison Network aims to be a source of hope, dignity and purpose.
We journey with women in and beyond prison, providing the support and courage they need to navigate positive pathways and create change. We help strengthen family and community ties and improve outcomes for children with a mother in prison.
Through this relational support we see inter-generational cycles of incarceration and disadvantage forever disrupted.
