Prisoners Abroad is a UK-registered human rights and welfare charity[1] which supports British citizens who are imprisoned overseas.

They assist British citizens during their incarceration, when they return to the UK and need access to resettlement services, and they support their family and friends throughout the trauma.

Prisoners Abroad translates human rights law into practical life-saving actions by providing access to vitamins and essential food, emergency medical care, freepost envelopes to keep in touch with home and books and magazines to help sustain mental health.

Prisoners Abroad's work also extends to a resettlement service that supports those who return to the UK; they find them somewhere to stay, provide grants for food and travel, and help them take the vital steps to a new life.

Prominent patrons include the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent Nichols; Sir Ephraim Mirvis; the Right Reverend Rachel Treweek; Sir David Wootton; Jon Snow; Dominic Grieve QC; Kit de Waal; and Dame Harriet Walter.
