The Prison Reform Trust (PRT) is an independent UK charity working to create a just, humane and effective penal system. We were founded in 1981 to inform and influence public debate on prison conditions and the treatment of prisoners, amidst concerns about a projected prison population of 48,000 by 1984. The charity remains as important to civic society today as it was then.
PRT's main objectives are:
1.reducing unnecessary imprisonment and promoting community solutions to crime
2.improving treatment and conditions for prisoners and their families
3.promoting equality and human rights in the justice system.
We do this by inquiring into the workings of the system; informing prisoners, staff and the wider public; and by influencing Parliament, government and officials towards reform.
While often working alongside the prison service to effect reform and maintaining close links with departments including the Ministry of Justice, Treasury, Home Office, Cabinet Office, Department of Health and Department of Children, Schools and Families, to retain its independence PRT does not seek or accept government funding. The structure and rigour of programmes are agreed with those trusts and foundations that generously fund the work. PRT has a strong track record of effecting change in policy and practice.
The Howard League for Penal Reform is the world's oldest penal reform charity – a membership organisation that combines litigation, campaigning and policy work.
Our overriding ambition is to move the dial on punishment away from cruelty and towards building a more humane and effective response to crime that provides justice to all and helps to reduce reoffending.
All our work is based on high-quality research; on the experiences of our members who live, or have lived, in prison; on insights gleaned from people working in the criminal justice system; and on information provided in calls to our dedicated advice line for children and young adults in custody.
We safeguard our independence and do not accept any funding from government. For more information about how you can support our work, please visit www.howardleague.org
