Which group is explicitly included among the Howard League's primary beneficiaries?

• A. Prisoners
• B. Government officials
• C. Private prison owners
• D. International donors

Answer: (A)

The main idea is identifying who a charity’s work is meant to help most directly. The Howard League for Penal Reform designs its programs and advocacy to benefit those in the prison system and other people affected by imprisonment. By focusing on improving conditions, supporting reform, and reducing reliance on incarceration, prisoners are the group that receives the direct, intended benefits of its efforts. Government officials and private prison owners are not the charity’s beneficiaries; they’re policymakers or industry stakeholders who may be influenced by the charity’s work, but not the recipients of its charitable activities. International donors fund or support the charity, but again they are benefactors, not the direct beneficiaries. So, prisoners are the explicit primary beneficiaries.
