We provide a critical lifeline to incarcerated foreigners in Bangkok Prisons, re-connecting them to caring support.

Luna-Rose Prisoner Support is a registered non-profit society founded by Heather Luna-Rose. Since 2006, we have been offering volunteer * compassionate support *  psychological first aid  * food * medical and Human Rights advocacy * crisis and trauma-informed resilience tools * addiction and recovery support * to Canadian, European, Australian, Iranian, American, Burmese and many other foreigner nationals in Bangkok prisons. Most have very long sentences – upwards of 20, 50, 100 years, and Death Penalty, for drug charges. 

Thailand’s prisons do not meet minimum internationally agreed upon standards of prisoner treatment for space, sanitation, nutrition or medical care. Foreigner inmates experience brutality, overcrowding, physical and mental ailments and acute emotional distress. Disconnected from home country, family support, and friends, these marginalized people, often with addiction issues, suffer overwhelming loneliness, trauma, hunger and resulting physical and mental illnesses. Luna-Rose Prisoner Support offers human connection, Human Rights advocacy, psychosocial and emotional support, links to family, and hope. We support dignity, and our method is connection and compassionate, trauma-informed support.

Prison Art

Many Bangkwang inmates transcended the walls through their incredible artistic skill. These killer whales were drawn in ballpoint pen using art supplies I brought to inmates before it was no longer allowed to bring supplies to the prison.

The Impact of Our Work

Letters from Inmates

  • Thank you so much! You were a big contributor to my mental well-being during the hellish times over the past 5 years. You allowed me to see things about myself that I may not have seen on my own. Maybe it was due to ignoring my own feeling and shutting out the world. Living in one's own mind can be a dangerous place to be. And your arrival allowed me to escape that dark place. -- Danny. (Canada)

  • I get letters from my family back home, but having an actual face-to-face visit is a big boost for my state of mind. I have said many times to many people that what we do in this place is not living, it is existing. Well, thanks to you... I get to live again during these always too brief visits. -- Justin. (USA )

  • You can’t imagine our gratitude. It can be very cold and lonely here and it’s heartwarming to know that there are still people that care about us. -- Adrian. (Canada)

Rogue humanitarian, activist, author.
Since 2006, I have been bearing witness to incarcerated people. I visit inmates, and bring trauma-informed psychological first aid; advocacy; medicine, food, compassionate support and human connection.
I liaise with inmates’ families and lobby Embassies and gov't to better support their citizens' medical needs and Human Rights.
In 2010 - 2014, I curated Bangkwang prisoner artwork exhibits in Canada, with 100% of proceeds going back to the artist-inmates.
With no government or grant funding, I have self-funded Luna-Rose Prisoner Support's volunteer mission on tenacity, hard work and determination for over a decade.
I work tirelessly to continue this humanitarian mission. I have never had a salary, and raise most of the costs by working many other jobs to bring support to those in need for many months every year.
I speak regularly to schools, organizations about: Human Rights; addiction, recovery, resilience; foreigners in Thai prisons; and, human connection and radical compassion...
Interests: moral philosophy; feminist ethics, activism, humanitarian praxis; psychological resilience; institutionalization; addiction and recovery...
