Prison Support
Dublin Samaritans work to support Dublin's prison community in two ways:
Prison Visits
Experienced Samaritans volunteers visit some local prisons to offer emotional support directly to prisoners face-to-face. Prisoners are welcome to contact Samaritans themselves in most of the usual ways. See the Contact page for details.
Prisoner Listener Schemes
Samaritans volunteer trainers go into some prisons and select, train and support prisoners to listen to their fellow inmates. These Listeners befriend fellow prisoners in line with the values of Samaritans.
