Visitors manifesto – families of prisoners call for change

Nepacs has launched a manifesto for change which sets out 16 priority areas where they feel the government could make improvements which would:

• make it easier for children and families to visit their loved one in prison and help to maintain family ties during the sentence

• give visitors and worried relatives more information about prison, procedures, and support that is available to help them survive the sentence.

Not my crime, still my sentence campaign

In June, the 2015 Children of Prisoners Europe campaign 'Not my Crime, Still my Sentence' was launched.

The new website is now online at www.notmycrimestillmysentence.org

The campaign site features an "I pledge my support" button in the form of a petition. Please take a moment to support the petition by clicking through and signing up.
