Prison Life Videos
The Prisoners' Families Helpline has created videos to explain some of the aspects of prison life. These are available in several languages: Albanian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Somalian, Urdu and Welsh. There are several short videos which cover topics such as the first night in custody, prison life, education, employment and healthcare in prison.
