Our Mission
PASAN is a place where prisoners matter. We support and advocate with communities disproportionately affected by incarceration, focusing on prison health, harm reduction, HIV and hepatitis C.
No one is left behind, and nobody fails here.
Our Vision
An end to prisons, health inequities, and the oppressions that drive criminalization, incarceration, HIV and hepatitis C.
Justice, health and healing for communities disproportionately harmed by the prison system.

PASAN is a community-based prisoner health and harm reduction organization that provides support, education and advocacy to prisoners and ex-prisoners across Canada

PASAN formed in 1991 as a grassroots response to HIV in the Canadian prison system. 

Today, PASAN is the only community-based organization in Canada exclusively providing HIV and HCV prevention, education and support services to prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families
