“This year Prisoners’ Sunday – the national day of prayer and action for prisoners and their families – falls on 8th October. Prisoners’ Sunday is an important opportunity for us all to direct our thoughts and prayers to the needs of prisoners and their families, and those who work to support our brothers and sisters affected by the criminal justice system.”

This is where we support the PACT charity. That stands for prison advice and care trust. According to their website, they support prisons, convicts and their families. Here’s a quote from that website that we can get behind and support…
“Our vision is of a society that understands justice as a process of restoration and healing, that uses prisons sparingly and as places of learning and rehabilitation, and that values the innate dignity and worth of every human being. We work for the common good of Society, taking a public health-based approach. We work at the intersection of criminal justice, child and family welfare, mental health, wellbeing provision and health and social care.”
