Prisons are busy planning to restart social visits, with the support of our families staff. This obviously needs to be done very carefully to protect the health of everyone. Visits will look quite different from before Covid-19, but this is necessary to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Full information will be given when a booking is made.
Video visits continue to be rolled out across more prisons, and other ways to keep in contact remain including writing a letter, Email A Prisoner and Prison Voicemail.
Please check www.gov.uk/prison-visits or individual prison Twitter accounts for latest updates.
We look forward to welcoming families back soon!
If you have concerns about an individual in prison, please contact the Safer Custody team at the relevant prison.
