You can now book a prison visit online

Booking a prison visit should be simple and straightforward. Until now that was far from the case. Booking a visit required both prisoner and visitor to jump through hoops: paper forms and drawn-out phone calls. And if the visit date turned out to be impossible, they had to start all over again.

Now you can book a visit online . It takes about 5 minutes. Before, picking an available date was pot luck. Now there's a date-picker that lets you select 3 possible slots instead of 1. It’s a straight-forward service with user-needs at its heart but, if you get stuck, you can call the prison's visits booking line and someone will help you with the booking.

Here's a very short film we've made about it:

By making it easier to book visits, prisoners will see more of their friends and family. Evidence suggests this will help their rehabilitation. Transformation isn't just about websites.

The service was built by the Ministry of Justice, with a combined team from the National Offender Management Service, HM Prison Service and MoJ Digital Services.

How do you find out the prisoners number??? so you can go ahead with online booking of a visit?

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 24 August 2015

You can find a prisoner using this service: https://www.gov.uk/find-prisoner However it will be the prisoner's responsibility to get in touch with you to let you know their prison number etc.

This service does not appear to work this is day 2 trying to use it

Comment by Olivia posted on 30 July 2015

Hi, If a visit is booked and someone cant make it, is it possible to change the name of one of the people to someone else?

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 30 July 2015

It's best to contact the prison directly if this happens. You can find contact details here: http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder

Thanks, Louise

Hi my partner was sent to nottingham today, I was on his previous list 4 months ago for a visit. Will that still be on the system all will it have to he put through again if so how long does it take to be approved for a visit? Thanks Paige.

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 29 July 2015

You might want to get in touch with the prison first before booking a visit. You can find the contact details of the prison here: http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder

Comment by Debs posted on 27 July 2015

Hello Is there a list of prisons where online booking can't be used?

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 28 July 2015

According to the information on this page: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits , you can arrange a visit to any prison in England and Wales through this service. If you're visiting someone in Northern Ireland or Scotland you'll need to contact the prison directly.

This link also lists the type of visits that are not covered by the online service: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits so you need to get in touch with the prison directly.

Hope that's helpful.

So how do I find the booking form to fill in I am new to computers

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 27 July 2015

Here's the link to the booking form: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits

You'll need this information to complete the form:

prisoner number prisoner’s date of birth dates of birth for all visitors coming with you make sure the person you’re visiting has added you to their visitor list

Hope that's useful.

Comment by Shawnaa posted on 09 May 2015

i have a visit booked which i did online but i do not have a visiting order woll the prison let me in?

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 11 May 2015

Your identity will be checked on arrival to make sure you’re on the visitor list.

Comment by jessicca posted on 27 January 2015

What happens after you book the visit and its confirmed by email do you need the visiting order ?

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 29 January 2015

The Visiting Order (VO) number is generated by the booking system, it is included in your confirmation email and you will need this to change or cancel a booking.

However, if you're visiting a prison the guidance is that you only need your ID, not the VO number. If when you visit the prison you are asked for the VO number you should report this via the Contact Us link on the Prison Visits Booking form.

I hope that helps.

Comment by Ilysa Mcnally posted on 18 November 2014

How late in advance can I book e.g. book a visit today (Tuesday) for the Sunday coming???

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 19 November 2014

Hi Ilysa. Thanks for your question. A visit needs to be booked 3 working days in advance. So in this case, the visit request would have to be no later than Tuesday to allow for a visit on Sunday.

Comment by carole posted on 23 October 2014

How far in advance can you book visits

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 23 October 2014

Hi Carole. You can book up to 28 days in advance. Thanks for your question.

Comment by kimberly posted on 16 August 2015

does anyone know how to cancel a visit online?

Visiting someone in prison

This page includes advice on how to book a prison visit, what to expect and how to get financial assistance for your visit.

How to book a visit

Which prison are they in, preparing for a visit, will i get searched, what happens during the visit, complaints about visits, financial assistance for visits.

You will need to book a visit for the person you’re going to see making sure you have their name, prison number and date of birth, this can be done through the Gov.uk website — https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits

You can also book visits by calling the prison directly.

If you are having difficulty booking a visit you can telephone the Prisoners’ Families Helpline  on 0808 808 2003 who will be able to give you advice about booking a visit. You will need to give them information about how long you have spent on the phone trying to book a visit.

If you don’t know where the person you want to visit is, you can email Prisoner Location Service who may be able to location your loved one — subject to conditions.

You should check that you know where you are going. You may want to arrive early, as there will be security to go through.

You will also need a photographic ID i.e. passport or driver’s licence for when you arrive at the prison.

You’ll be allowed to take some money with you to purchase some food and drinks from the prisons shop during the visit for you and the person you’re visiting. You can contact the prison to confirm the maximum amount you’re allowed to take to the visiting area.

You should be aware that you will not be able to hand property directly to the prison. If you would like to hand something in for the person you’re visiting, it would be useful to call the prison to ask if this is allowed to avoid disappointment.

Yes, your bags and pockets will be searched. You may also be given a rub down search and asked to open your mouth. All searches should be carried out in a polite and respectful way.

You will be allocated seats and you normally have to remain seated.

You can usually embrace at the beginning and end of the visit.

Officers will be present and may listen to your conversation.

You cannot usually smoke in the visits hall.

The rules for visiting should be clearly displayed in the prison. The visit can be refused or cut short if you break any of the prison visit rules. If you are a threat to prison security or are causing concern to other visitors, you may also find the visit is cut short or you are offered a closed visit.

Further information on visits this can be found below:

PSI 16/2011 Managing prison visits

Management of security at visits Policy Framework

Visitors should be treated professionally and with respect. If you feel you have been discriminated against or treated discourteously, you can write to the governor of the prison. The governor is expected to reply to you within 28 days. There is no formal complaints procedure for people visiting a prison.

More information on how to make a complaint and who to complain to should be displayed in the visits area of each prison.

You may be able to get help with the costs of visiting someone in prison. If you are a close relative, partner or the only visitor and have a low income, you should contact the Assisted Prison Visits Unit to see if you qualify for help.

More information and contact details can be found at https://www.gov.uk/help-with-prison-visits

Visiting someone in prison

Prison visits are an important part of helping prisoners to stay in contact with their families and friends. You will need to book if you want a prison visit and you will need to be aware of the rules and what to expect when you visit.

Getting registered for prison visits

All visitors need to be registered in the prison they are visiting. When you arrive at Visits Reception you will be photographed, have a scan taken of your finger and will be asked to provide identification. 

When you arrive to visit a prisoner for the first time, you should arrive at least 30 minutes before your visit so you can be registered.

Once you are registered, you will not have to bring photo identification every time you visit, unless there is a gap of more than three months since your last visit. You will need to have photo identification when leaving in clothing parcels.

Identification you need

On your first visit, you will need to bring identification with you. All visitors  aged 18 and over will, by their third visit, have to provide photographic identification as  proof of their identity, be photographed for record purposes and have their fingers scanned to register them on the system.

Acceptable photographic ID includes:

• driving license
• electoral identity card
• senior citizen's smart pass
• citizen’s card

Identification for visitors aged 16-18 at Hydebank

A young person aged between 16-18 visiting Hydebank Wood without an adult will also need to provide identification.  If the teenager does not have a passport or driving license they will need two forms of identification. They can use:

• birth certificate
• medical card
• national insurance card
• student photo ID card
• bus pass photo
• library card

If you are aged 16 or 17 you can visit unaccompanied if you have written parent or guardian consent.  The parent or guardian will have to come to the prison with identification for the first visit.

Being searched

All visitors should expect to be searched. Anyone refusing to be searched will not be allowed their prison visit.

Children will also need to be searched and need to be accompanied by an adult

All visitors will have a rub down search and must pass a dog fully trained to detect banned items before entering the visits room.

The dog is on a lead and does not come into contact with the visitor but detects by scent. The dog will indicate to the handler when a visitor may be carrying banned articles or has been in close recent contact with any banned items.

If  a dog makes a positive indication, the visitor will be offered either a closed visit (in a location that prevents physical contact) or they can choose not to take the visit. If a closed visit facility is not available the visitor may reschedule their visit. Other visitors in the party may take the visit as normal. 

Your personal items

Visitors must leave their personal belongings in the specially provided lockers in each prison.

What to wear

Sporting team clothing or colours are not allowed.

Revealing clothing is not allowed. Midriff and cleavage must be fully covered.

Failure to comply with the above may result in you not gaining entry to your visit.

Special requirements for visitors

If you have any special requirements including wheelchair access, you must tell the staff when booking your visit.

If you are visiting someone in Maghaberry Prison and are a Blue Badge holder (driver only), you will need to pre-book a disabled parking space. All other visitors to Maghaberry must park in the car park at the Visitors’ Centre.

Numbers of people during a visit

Normally up to three adults, together with up to two children (a total of 5), will be allowed at each visit. 

If you would like a change to this, you can phone the booking office.  Visit bookings cannot be amended within 24 hours of the visit.

|Travel expenses

If you are on a low income, you may be able to get some help with the cost of your travel expenses.

• Prison Visits Scheme

Getting to prison

There is a free taxi service available on visit days between Moria Train station and Maghaberry Visitors' Welcome Centre. There is also a free NIPS Bus between Bellerena train station and Magilligan Visitors' Welcome Centre. 

You will need to tell the prison if you plan to use these services.

• free travel to prison  

Giving property or money to a prisoner

You can bring clothing, gifts or lodge money into a prisoner's account. However, there are rules on what you can bring.

Guide to Booking Your First Prison Visit

Visiting a loved one in prison can be an emotionally-wrought experience, especially if this is your first time. It’s normal to feel nervous. Here is a comprehensive guide designed to help ease your concerns and answer your questions about booking your first prison visit in the UK:

The Basic Rules

Every prison in the UK has their own set of rules for visits. Generally, you are allowed a certain number of visits in a specified period.

Booking a Visit

You can’t just show up at the prison; you have to book your visitation in advance. The usual method for booking a visit is through the government’s official Prison Visits Booking website. You need to provide the prisoner’s name and prisoner number, and you would also have to provide your own personal details like your full name, contact number, and date of birth.

Visiting Order (VO)

Before visiting a prison, you need to receive a Visiting Order from the prisoner that you plan to visit. This rule, however, may vary depending on the prison’s individual visitation rules.

Identification

When you visit a prison, you’re required to provide a certain level of identification. This typically involves your passport or driving license and utility bills showing your current address. If you don’t provide the right ID, you may not be allowed to visit.

What You Can Bring

The rules about what you can bring into a prison are rigorous. You’re not expected to bring anything in, but if you do, it’s likely to be thoroughly searched.

Searching Process

When you enter a prison, you’ll be searched. This is an essential part of maintaining the safety and security of everyone involved.

• Physical Search: This involves a metal detector and possibly a pat down.
• Biometric Tests: These include fingerprint scans. Your biometric data gets destroyed after your visit.
• Drug Detection Dogs: You may also be screened by drug detection dogs.

What You Can Expect

During your time in the prison, you can expect to see your loved one in a communal area. Visits are typically supervised, though they try to give you some privacy. There might also be a limit to the physical contact you’re allowed with the prisoner.

Remember, prison visits are all about keeping connected with your loved one and offering them moral support. The rules might seem overwhelmingly strict, but they’re there to protect all parties involved. If you’ve got specific concerns or questions, do seek advice from the prison you’re planning to visit or a support network like the Prison Advice and Care Trust.

It can be used for public sector male, female and young offender establishments at category B and below (not the private or high security estate). Friends, families and others wishing to make a booking will need to fill in a number of details about the prisoner including their prisoner number, which they can obtain from the prisoner and the dates of birth of each of the visitors.

Applicants will get an email within 3 days confirming their visit time and date.

Prison visits booking: the first two weeks

Hello, I'm  Gavin Bell , I started last week and I am the product / service manager for the  prison visits exemplar .

I'm one of the first of a new type of job inside each department. My role is to shape and guide the projects so that they fully live up to their  digital by default  billing.

My first two weeks have been filled with lots of research on how the  prison visits system operates , plus plenty of meetings to understand the existing systems and policy.

I've learnt about the Prison NOMIS (National Offender Management Information System), which holds information on prisoners; read the  Prison Service Instructions  on how to run a prison; and read the  Prison Rules  which give the underlying framework for the prison system.

Booking a prison visit generates millions of phone calls a year, and much of the system is pen- and paper-based, with a wide range of implementations across the 133 prisons in the UK.

Ensuring the right person gets to visit the right prisoner and has a good experience is at the core of the service, but security issues can make this a much more difficult process.

Security is high on the agenda, rightly so, but there are opportunities to assess and improve how the workflow operates from existing consolidated call centres for visit booking and on towards the goal of transforming the service to a digitally-driven one.

My next tasks are to start the discovery process in conjunction with  GDS  and  NOMS (National Offender Management Service) and begin some analysis of the data that exists around the value in the  visiting process  and how that relates to  reoffending . Exploring the existing workflow and the potential for a data-driven analysis is quite exciting.

Visiting a prison is the main activity next week, and I'm really looking forward to it.

How to book a prison visit

If you’re looking to visit a friend or family member in a UK prison, it’s important to know the steps you need to take to book a visit. In this blog post, we’ll go through the process of booking a visit, as well as how children can be included in visits.

Step 1: Find out the prisoner’s details

Before you can book a visit, you’ll need to know the prisoner’s full name, date of birth, prisoner number and prison location. You can find this information by contacting the prisoner or using the ‘ Locate a prisoner ‘ section of the UK Gov website.

Step 2: Complete the application form.

Once you have the prisoner’s details, you’ll usually need to complete an application form to request a visit. You can usually find the application form on the prison’s website or by contacting them directly.

Step 3: Wait for approval

Once you’ve submitted the application form, you’ll need to wait for approval from the prison. This can take several days or even weeks, so it’s important to plan ahead.

Step 4: Book the visit

Once your application has been approved, you can book the visit. You’ll usually need to provide the prisoner’s details again, as well as your own details and the details of any other visitors.

Step 5: Attend the visit

On the day of the visit, you’ll need to bring a valid form of ID, such as a passport or driving licence. You’ll also need to follow any rules and regulations set by the prison, such as dress code and prohibited items.

Including children on visits

If you’re planning to bring children on a prison visit, it’s important to know that there may be additional rules and regulations. Some prisons have age limits for visitors, while others require children to be accompanied by an adult.

You may also need to provide additional information about the children, such as their full names and dates of birth, when booking the visit. It’s important to check with the prison beforehand to make sure you have all the necessary information.

Please note, all UK prisons have different rules when it comes to visitations, so the above helpful hints and tips may not always be relevant to every UK prison. To find out more, visit the prison information page for the prison your loved one is located in for further information.

Prison Visit Booking - Service Assessment

If you're visiting a prison you’ll be able to book using a single service, offering a simpler, faster experience for families, friends and professionals. https://www.gov.uk/transformation/book-prison-visit

Department / Agency: MOJ

Date of Assessment: 9/5/2014

Moving to: Beta

Result: Pass

Lead Assessor: N. Williams

Service Manager: T. Duarte

Digital Leader: M. Coats

Assessment report

The Prison Visit Booking service is seeking permission to formally launch as a Beta service covering the majority of state-operated prisons, with a start page on  GOV.UK .

Outcome of service assessment

GDS are pleased to conclude that the Prison Visit Booking service has shown sufficient progress and evidence of meeting the Digital by Default Service Standard criteria and should proceed to launch as a Beta service on  GOV.UK .

It was clear from the assessment that the service has been built around a deep understanding of user needs, that it is meeting those needs successfully and is providing a much improved experience for prisoners, visitors and prison staff alike. GDS were satisfied that the Prison Visit Booking service have given due thought to the safety of the service and involved technical and security experts accordingly, and that they are working in an agile method and are proactively improving the service on an ongoing basis in response to user needs.

Recommendations

For the service to succeed at Live assessment, during the Beta it will be vital that Prison Visit Booking:

• publish the remainder of the service’s code openly, and ensure that you are using an appropriate licence both for the newly published code and the component of the service you have already open sourced
• put in place plans to ensure that there will be a permanent team available to iterate and improve the service post go-live, and that this team includes time from a dedicated person with the expertise to gather and gain insight from analytics data
• ensuring assisted digital support is made available to all users who need it
• measuring volumes and cost per minute of assisted digital per channel, and showing they are in line with estimates
• showing that assisted digital users are aware of support and can access it easily
• showing positive feedback from users and experts
• verifying that there is sufficient capacity to deliver phone and face-by-face support, including that external organisations are sufficiently funded to meet demand
• including messages within the service itself to signpost the available support
• publish information about the cookies used by the service including their purpose and how long they are stored for (see  https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/making-software/cookies  for more)

This service has been given approval to launch as a beta with a start page on  GOV.UK . (The service is already on a  service.gov.uk  domain).

Hundreds of prisoners to be released early in Scotland after MSPs back plan

More than 500 prisoners will be released in four waves, starting at the end of this month.

Scotland reporter @Jenster13

Wednesday 12 June 2024 18:23, UK

Regulations to allow the emergency early release of prisoners will come into force after MSPs backed the Scottish government's plan to ease pressure on the country's jails.

Around 514 prisoners will be released in four waves, starting at the end of this month.

Only inmates serving short sentences of under four years who have 180 days or less left to serve will be considered for release.

Prisoners serving life sentences, or those who are currently behind bars for sexual, domestic abuse or terror-based offences, will automatically be excluded from the scheme.

Prison governors will also have the power to veto the release of any inmate they deem an "immediate risk" to a specific individual or group.

Timescales: • Tranche one: Those with less than 45 days left to serve will be released on 26 and 27 June. • Tranche two: Those with 45-89 days left to serve will be released on 3 and 4 July. • Tranche three: Those with 90-134 days left to serve will be released on 10 and 11 July. • Tranche four: Those with 135-180 days left to serve will be released 17 and 18 July.

Eligible prisoners whose release is not completed within the appropriate tranche will be set free as soon "as is practicable" before the process end date of 25 July.

Keep up with all the latest news from the UK and around the world by following Sky News

The move comes amid a spike in prison population numbers, which Justice Secretary Angela Constance said is putting the estate at "critical risk".

Ms Constance told Holyrood in May that the country's prison population had increased sharply by around 400 in the space of two months, and 13% since the beginning of 2023.

On 16 May it was sitting at 8,348, one of the highest levels ever recorded in Scotland . It has since dropped to 8,294 - which is still above the target operating capacity of 8,007.

After being backed by MSPs on Wednesday, from 13 June the Scottish government will be able to bring into force section 11 of the Bail and Release from Custody (Scotland) Act 2023, which provides ministers with the power to release prisoners in emergency situations.

Following Scottish parliament approval, Ms Constance said: "Immediate and urgent action is needed to deal with the significant recent rise in the prison population.

"The same challenges in prisons are faced across the UK and the UK government has taken similar action in England and Wales.

"Through this emergency early release plan, backed by parliament, we are responding to this critical situation and ensuring the safety and welfare of staff and prisoners.

"Protecting the public remains my absolute priority, which is why there are significant and robust safeguards in place and only those due to be released in the next short while are eligible.

"Releases will also be completed in tranches so the necessary support can be provided to safely resettle released prisoners in their communities."

Those not registered with the victim notification scheme will reportedly have to contact one of four support organisations to find out if the offender in their case is among those being released early.

Scottish Tory justice spokesperson Russell Findlay said: "Many victims of serious crimes will first hear about this on tonight's news. This will cause fear and anxiety.

"Prisoners being set free will have committed serious crimes, including violence."

Ms Constance said the Scottish government is working with victim support organisations to ensure information and help is available where needed.
