PROJECTS 2009 to 2012: CROSSREACH - ON THE OTHER SIDE
- SCOTLAND
Background
There are 14 prisons in Scotland and Visitors’
Centre resources are only provided in 3 of them. CrossReach
run the visitor centre at Perth Prison.
 |
Many people visiting prisons feel socially isolated
even though they themselves have done nothing wrong.
We support families on the other side by offering somewhere
‘outside’ of the prison building where they
can rest and be refreshed after often a long journey,
access advice, information and practical support when
a loved one is ‘inside’. |
Children visiting can find the prison environment challenging
and CrossReach offer a range of support services specifically
for them. This centre is part of an innovative service
to families, who are often victims of circumstances
beyond their control. CrossReach aim, with your help,
to provide similar support services across Scotland’s
prison service.

Punton, information officer.
