Asalaamu Alaikum All!

I don't know how many people have read the Prison Campaign 2010 article, if you havn't, have a quick look. Anyway I have added this thread so that you guys could write messages of support in this thread. It can be between 100- 150 words.

Show the prisoners that the community cares..

JazakhAllah Khair.

Wa Alaikum Salaam...
Lol not a problem. I have copied and pasted the article here:

According to current statistics, Muslims constitute around 12% of the male and female prison population, more than 4 times their representation in the wider population.

In October 2004, MuslimYouth.net launched its inaugural campaign entitled “Behind Bars” during the month of Ramadan to raise awareness of the plight of Muslim prisoners. Following intensive online and media coverage, Muslim Youth Helpline in conjunction with MuslimYouth.net and Muslim Chaplains nationwide, distributed gift packages and messages of support to 1,053 Muslims in 19 prisons. In 2005, the Prison Campaign won the CSV award for ‘the most heart-warming campaign’ and features in various radio and TV stations and national newspapers. Due to its continuous success, MYH have decided to run the campaign annually.

This year our aims include:
Awareness - Raise awareness about the prisoners in communities, service providers and organizations
Intervention – Provide emotional support to prisoners
Reintroduction – Help re-introduce prisoners into the society.

We also aim to send out gift packs to around 4,000 prisoners this year. In each of these packs we are hoping to put individualized messages of support. Please write a message of support of between 100- 150 words and show the prisoners that the community cares.

I hope that is clearer. If not, let me know and Insha'Allah I will answer any questions

Peace x
