About this service
The purpose of the program is to offer support to prisoners during, and after, their imprisonment through contact with friendship volunteers from outside H.M.P. This is on a one-to-one basis, hence the name 121.
This program operates under the direction of the John Howard Society. A Prison Volunteer Committee consisting of Society representatives, plus those from H.M.P., will oversee the operation of the 121 program. The Committee will be responsible for such matters as volunteer recruitment and selection, and ongoing development and evaluation of the program.
Although 121 is ultimately the responsibility of the John Howard Society, every effort will be made to keep Corrections, Social Services, church organizations and the general public aware of this voluntary service.
