So glad you had another lovely visit. It always makes me smile when you add the list of foods. As hard as it is I hope you left smiling. Enjoy the rest of your weekend xx

Visiting son for first time on Tuesday. What can I expect? What can I take in from the shop/canteen?
The advice here is so important & reliable.

Thankyou.

Hi EBP x

If you call the visitors centre they will be able to advise you as each prison has different rules x

Where my son is we can take £40 in cash £10 and £5 notes and change, you can take books in bit must have your name & address written on the inside of the cover ÷ his name and number,

The visitors hall has a canteen where you can buy food and drinks

The routine where we are is you check in at the visitors centre first, show your id, then wait to be called, but they will tell you this on your first visit, when my son was on remand we had just an hour visit and no canteen but when he was moved to an SO prison we have 2 hours and canteen,

You get patted down by officers and then go in to a room where the handler and dog is to be checked

The first visit is always the hardest as its really emotional but honestly lovely it will be ok x

If you need anything just feel free to message me, xx

Gosh Upset, I bet he won't eat for the rest of the day.



Glad your visit was good, those two hours must mean the world for you and him. So happy to hear your son is keeping strong and positive.
