Positive experiences
Many families have positive experiences. If you can, try to keep an open mind and not assume the worst.
Whatever you're going through, you're not alone.
Information about common experiences
'They won't tell me anything'
It can be hard to get information out of prisons.
'Nobody's listening'
Many families say they struggle to get their voices heard.
'Everything takes a long time'
Your loved one may sometimes have to wait for care.
'He won't ask anymore'
Some people's loved ones lose faith and feel that making health apps isn't worth it.
'They say it's not their department'
Some families have a sense of being passed around the houses as they try to get help for their loved ones.
Come to our coffee morning
Every month, Pact runs a coffee morning in central London for families with a loved one in prison.
It's a safe, non-judgemental space to get support and chat with people who know what it's like.
Sessions are professionally facilitated by Pact. Coffee and snacks are on us.
If you have a loved one inside, you are warmly invited to join us. Please get in touch for more information.
