Prison Network
Prison Network aims to reduce the impact of the issues leading to offending behaviour, which will in turn reduce recidivism and provide the opportunity for families to make generational changes.
Prison Network has been providing support to women in Victorian prisons, and their families, for over 75 years. Prison Network journeys with women in and beyond prison, providing the support and courage they need to navigate positive pathways and create change. For women who have often experienced life long hardship Prison Network aims to be a source of hope, dignity and purpose, ultimately reducing recidivism and inter-generational cycles of criminal activity and poverty.
