We stand ready to assist incarcerated citizens and their families within the limits of our authority in accordance with international, domestic, and foreign law. </p> <p><b>Tips to Avoid Arrest Overseas:</b></p> <ul> <li>Understand that you are subject to the local laws and regulations while visiting or living in the country – follow them.</li> <li>Learn which laws might be different from the laws in the United States. We provide some information for each country on our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html">Country Information</a> pages. For more information on a specific country’s laws, contact that country’s nearest embassy or consulate in the United States before you travel.</li> </ul> <p><b>In Case of an Arrest Overseas:</b></p> <ul> <li>Ask the prison authorities to notify the U.S. embassy or consulate.</li> <li>Reach out to the <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html">closest U.S. embassy or consulate</a> to let us know of the arrest.</li> </ul> <p><b>Consular Assistance to U.S. Prisoners</b><br> <br> When a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, he or she may be initially confused and disoriented. They may be in unfamiliar surroundings and may not know the local language, customs, or legal system.</p> <p><b> We Can:</b></p> <ul> <li>Provide a list of local attorneys who speak English</li> <li>Contact family, friends, or employers of the detained U.S. citizen (with their written permission)</li> <li>Visit the detained U.S. citizen regularly and provide reading materials and vitamin supplements, where appropriate</li> <li>Ensure that prison officials are providing appropriate medical care </li> <li>Provide a general overview of the local criminal justice process</li> <li>Upon request, ensure that prison officials permit visits with a member of the clergy of the religion of the detainee’s choice</li> <li>Establish an <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/emergency-financial-assistance.html">OCS Trust</a>, if necessary, so friends and family can transfer funds to imprisoned U.S. citizens</li> </ul> <p><b>We Cannot:</b></p> <ul> <li>Get U.S. citizens out of jail </li> <li>State to a court that anyone is guilty or innocent</li> <li>Provide legal advice or
