At HMP Wolds we welcome and understand that it is constructive for inmates, family and friends to have the opportunity to retain close relationships and family ties whilst in our custody.

Prisons can be intimidating places for visitors who have never experienced the visiting process. It can be particularly stressful and exhausting when young children accompany parents when undergoing the necessary entry and exit procedures.

The environment in which all visits are held is important and to ensure they are stress free experiences, every effort is made to explain procedures clearly and reasons for decisions clarified. While security is a major consideration in relation to visits a relaxed atmosphere prevails when the clearly specified rules of conduct and behaviour are observed by prisoners and their visitors.

Smoking
The Visits Hall is designated a non-smoking area in the interests of public health. Signs to this effect will be prominently displayed. No tobacco products will be carried into visits by prisoners or visitors.
