RFI: Donors/NGOs Working in Prisons
-----------------------------------

Greetings from Madagascar!

Does anyone have information on donors who are specifically concerned 
with health issues in prisons?

When living in Cambodia, I worked with a local NGO that was involved 
in prison health care. Funding was an ongoing nightmare because pris-
oner health is not usually considered a priority where MCH issues 
loom large. This NGO approached prison health care as a human rights 
issue and was able to get limited funding from a few human rights-
related donors, but it was (and continues to be) a continual struggle 
to stay afloat.

I welcome any and all information on potential donors (human rights, 
prison health, etc.) and/or NGOs that have prison health programs 
from which I could learn. I am somewhat familiar with Prison Fellow-
ship, a faith-based organization that sends medical teams to overseas 
prisons.

Thank you for any information you may have.

Regards,
