Assistance and help for prisoners in UAE






There are a number ofways that we assist prisoners in UAE.Advice and information Our Support team provides advice, information and support to any inmate in a UAE prison and their families. We provide a personal, friendly help. We also provide information about repatriation. We can also respond to other specific requests for information, where appropriate.
Funds for essential needs We make payments to those prisoners we are in contact with if they receive little or no financial assistance from other sources. We give funds to prisoners to help them pay for essential items such as food, clothing and phone costs. We are building an emergency medical fund to pay for essential medication or treatment, which is not provided by the prison. We are building a fund to pay for prisoners fines and repatiation. We visit inmates when we can and pass on messages and give support. Other services to prisoners Books, magazines and educational courses and materials We give magazines and books to prisoners. In many cases, our supporters are able to donate magazine subscriptions, which are then sent directly to the prisoner. We can, sometimes with the assistance of other organisations, provide educational courses and art materials. Pen pal service All prisoners are offered the opportunity to correspond with our pen pal volunteers or with other prisoners. All correspondence is forwarded via this website. For more information please contact our help email Pre paid envelopes We provide international freepost envelopes. A prisoners may use these, either to write to us, or to forward mail to family and friends via our support team.
