Founded in London in 1989, Penal Reform International (PRI) has members in five continents and in over 80 countries. PRI develops programmes on a regional basis, assisting both non-governmental organisations and individuals to establish projects in their own countries.

It promotes the exchange of information and good practice between countries with related conditions. PRI's regional programmes include sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, South Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Baroness Stern was Secretary-General of PRI from 1989 until 2006.
