Our Work in Cardiff Prison
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.
The Cardiff & District Samaritans branch offers support to HM Prison Cardiff. A team of Samaritan volunteers, from this branch, 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.
