Welcome to our website. We hope that you will find a lot of useful information on this site. You will see that we have been working hard to revamp the site, listening to your suggestions we have made a number of major changes, including repairing some broken links.

But if there is something that is not here and you feel that it should be, then please feel free to email me and suggest it. If it is felt that it would be useful to have the information then we will be only too happy to consider including it.

British Prisons is a volunteer run Web Site. This web site is maintained in part by the generosity of its users and a handful of volunteers who unselfishly donate their time and expertise for the common good.  Over 1.5 million visitors have found help here since we went on line.

Please also remember, we are NOTHING whatsoever to do with the Prison Service, we cannot find an imate for you, we cannot pass on any messages for you, nor can we book visits etc. For any official things like that you will need to contact the Ministry of Justice.

Meanwhile please look around and enjoy yourself.
