NEPACS is here to help you if we can. Visiting a prison for the first time can be a scary prospect. Often our visitors find that it gets easier as time heals and you get more used to the rules.

'Never having visited a prison before, we were greeted by kind and sympathetic volunteers, who took us to a quiet room and explained all about prison visiting and gave us information to take home and read. As the months passed they became friends to us' (Visitors' survey comment, 2010)

We provide visitor centre services for 6 regional prisons. Please contact the centres directly for more information - we will be pleased to talk to you before your visit and welcome you when you arrive. Click here to see our centres.
