04.01.2022 Prisoners On The Run is a charity in which monies raised by the fund raising activities of prisoners are distributed to disabled and disadvantaged children. Since its inception, the charity has raised over $1 million. Prisoners on the Run started at Morwell River Prison in 1988. Based around a fun run, in its first year the aim was to raise $1,000 for an sick child; from there it grew to a significant charity, raising $50,000 or more each year to distribute amongst disabled a...nd disadvantaged children in the Gippsland area. The charity was transferred to Won Wron Prison in 1997 upon the closure of Morwell River. In late 2004, with the imminent closure of Won Wron Prison, Fulham Correctional Centre and Gippsland Community Corrections maintained the charity to ensure the continuation of Prisoners on the Run in the Gippsland area. In 2005 changes were made to allow for the expansion of the charity to Beechworth and Dhurringile Prisons. Since this change, presentations have been made in both locations with funds of over $60,00 to the North East and $20,000 in the Goulburn Valley region for disadvantaged and disabled children.
