WORKING WITH HIBISCUS
 
Hibiscus Jamaica

The Female Prisoner’s Welfare Project–Hibiscus Jamaica Ltd was established in 1993. Its mandate is to provide the United Kingdom Judicial System with information regarding the socio–economic status of Jamaican women incarcerated for drug trafficking offences. The Agency also supports the resettlement, reintegration and rehabilitation of the women upon their return to the Jamaica.

FPWP-Hibiscus Jamaica also provides on-going assistance to the children of imprisoned women to minimize the social, psychological and physical impact of the incarceration of their mothers serving time in prisons in the United Kingdom for drug and other offences. Hibiscus assists them by attending to their emotional, physical, psychological and educational needs as well as their general welfare.

FPWP-Hibiscus Jamaica Ltd currently has 310 women and 425 children in the programme.
