Every day we get letters from people in jail.

They would do anything to avoid going back.

We teach them how to live without crime.

Criminon is a registered charity delivering life skills courses and rehabilitation. We equip prisoners to lead moral, productive and law-abiding lives. It is an effective offender rehabilitation programme.

Criminon is run by volunteers, and funded by donations. Every day prisoners graduate our courses in drug education, communication skills and – most importantly – personal integrity.

They have genuine changes of heart. They make honest decisions to change their lives. Their life experiences would make you cry, no matter what they’ve done. But our programme enables them win back their self-respect.

We equip them with the life skills they need to stay on the straight and narrow, and to remain free from offending. We help them to live gain the integrity to lead honest and happy lives.

The CRIMINON team of over 60 volunteer course tutors guide prisoners through correspondence courses by mail. We are always interested to interview applicants to join them, even if only limited hours are available. The essential requirements for Criminon tutors are a genuine desire to help, patience, and the ability to communicate well through letters. We train volunteers in the additional skills they need. If you are interested in joining our volunteer force, please contact us.
