In our work in prisons, this means:

  • We only operate in prisons in democratic countries that do not have the death penalty;
  • The goal of the institutions we serve must be consistent with our overall approach to improving living conditions and providing opportunities for rehabilitation to prevent re-offending;
  • Our staff do not carry firearms.
