The World Prison Games®: A Global Movement of Hope, Resilience, and Transformation

At Community Health & Wellbeing (CHW), we believe that change is always possible—even in the most challenging environments. That’s why we’re proud to support the World Prison Games® (WPG®), a groundbreaking initiative that’s transforming lives inside secure establishments around the globe.

The WPG® is more than a competition. It’s a movement—one that harnesses the power of sport, routine, and community to inspire growth, promote rehabilitation, and create brighter futures for those living in prison.

Why the World Prison Games Matter

Every push-up, every squat, every step on this journey represents more than physical effort—it represents hope. Here’s why the WPG® is making such an impact:

• Reducing Reoffending: Participants develop discipline, teamwork, and resilience—skills that are critical for life beyond prison walls.

• Boosting Wellbeing: Structured physical activity supports both mental and physical health, enhancing self-esteem, focus, and overall resilience.

• Preparing for Employment: From producing event banners to crafting medals, residents take part in purposeful activities that build transferable, marketable skills.

• Changing Perceptions: By showcasing what’s possible, the Games reframe the way society views rehabilitation and second chances.

More Than Sport

What sets the World Prison Games apart is that it goes beyond exercise. Establishments that take part contribute to their communities in meaningful ways—from fundraising for local charities to creating real work portfolios through prison print shops and woodwork projects.

These activities transform competition into contribution, turning effort into opportunity, and building a sense of purpose and pride.

Accessible and Inclusive

No gym equipment? No problem. The World Prison Games are designed to be fully accessible to all establishments, regardless of resources. Through secure digital platforms, participants can:

• Access leaderboards and track progress

• Follow professional training programmes

• Connect with a global community of change and transformation

This inclusivity ensures that no one is left behind—and that every participant has the chance to engage meaningfully.
