SHARP |
| When someone is sent to prison, family and friends have no chance to speak to him - or, increasingly, her - before they are taken away. The family or friends may have no idea where the person is being taken nor when they will be seen again. Often the dependants may have financial difficulties.
It can all seem very bleak at first as everything is new, and knowing where to begin is often the hardest part.
That is why we are here, to help, support , advise and befriend. |
