Our Work In Prisons The
occurrence of suicides of people in prison has long been a cause for concern.
Samaritans and the Prison Service are continuing to work in close partnership
to develop new initiatives to address this worrying trend. Bristol
Branch offers support to Horfield Prison for men and Eastwood Park Prison
for women and also assists A team of Samaritan volunteers from these branches visit
the prison to select, train and support prisoners to listen to their fellow
prisoners in distress. The work these Listeners do can be very challenging.
It is all face-to-face and we should not underestimate the vital work that
they do. More about
