my pain”

the chaos addiction has brought to my life”

“when she went into prison my daughter was looked after and had everyone trying to help her, no one had ever asked me if I needed help before and I am always the one left picking up the pieces” Each month we have 300 ‘contacts’ with families of people in prison offering practical support and advice.
