People in prison are real individuals with feelings, aspirations and hearts. I have written a self-help book for people in prison, designed to take them from places of despair to places of hope. This book is based on proven hope psychology, underpinned by my own research on the benefits of hope for people in prison. To my knowledge, this is the only book in the world dedicated to providing hope to people in prison, giving practical guidance on how to transform their lives.

The book will help people in prison to cope with the difficult conditions in some prisons such as being locked in a cell for 23 hours a day with little or no meaninful activity, set against a backdrop of overcrowding, violence, self-harm and suicide. In many prisons, rehabilitation is scarce and prisoners have to rely on their own mental resource to get through the experience. You could play an important role in helping these people by donating to this cause.

'Freedom is in the Mind' is a self-help book designed to give prisoners the mental tools to project themselves into a better future, so that they can have purpose in life, be accepted by society and contribute positively. The book is part of a wider project called Freedom is in the Mind to help people in prison through the research of hope

By providing people in prison with the tools to help themselves, they can start to realise their own potential to change. This can lead to a crime-free life in the future. Prisons are not the answer to solving crime. If they were, we wouldn't have any crime. Dealing with the root causes of a person's offending is the way to do this, and helping them to navigate a better future for themselves.

So far, the book is in a handful of prisons and secure units, but we need the resource in all prisons where prisoners can access it. Your donation to this cause will enable this to happen. I will distribute the book to prison libraries and people in prison can start to reclaim their future. I will also distribute the book to lawyers who represent clients that are at risk of being sent to prison.

By donating, you can help to change a person's life.
