What Can You Do?

If watching Bad Girls and finding out about the reality has made you want to do something about women in prison, you can donate money to Women in Prison, a charity which both campaigns on the issues of women's imprisonment and provides services including access to education and training for women in prison and ex-prisoners.

If you want to give your time, energy and skills, Women in Prison also uses volunteers or could advise you how to volunteer with other organisations providing help and support to women in prison.
