Communication is a major factor in prison life and the lack of it can have horrendous consequences. Email a Prisoner offers a quick and efficient secure alternative method of communication between prisoners their families and friend, meaning prisoners can receive more frequent and varied communication. It has been well documented that prisoners who are able to maintain family ties are 6 times less likely to re-offend. Legal bodies and related organisations (who share a professional interest in the welfare of prisoners) are also able to utilise our services.  

 There are currently 35 million users of the internet and this figure is growing at an increasing rate – meaning more people rely on the internet to communicate.

Email a Prisoner (formerly Refused Bail) has been established since 2006 and is constantly striving to expand the service so that all family and friends have the option to convey their thoughts via email direct to the prison in a safe and secure manner.
