helping families on the outside
When a man or woman is in prison the family left behind also suffers.
Partners often have to struggle with little money whilst there are difficulties explaining to a child why a parent has gone away.
At the end of a long separation it can be hard to pull the family together on release. The charity, Action for Families, is co-ordinating 'family relationship workshops' in prisons.
At Ashwell Prison near Leicester wives and partners come together with male prisoners to spend a day thinking through some of the problems they may face. Caroline Swinburne joined Theresa Oldman of Relate.
