Prisoner loan: next-of-kin estimate of monthly income and expenditure

In some instances Australian prisoners in foreign prisons may be able to arrange a loan from the Australian Government under the Prisoner Loan Scheme. However, a loan will only be arranged if

• 
  adequate food and medical facilities and other essentials (such as bedding, cooking utensils, clothing, soap, etc) are not provided by the prison
  
• 
  a loan is unable to be organised from family or friends
  
• 
  the country where the individual is imprisoned is on the approved country schedule.
  

Loans granted under the Prisoner Loan Scheme must be repaid after the person’s release.
