My grandson was sent by Full Sutton, York so that he could receive regular visitors without his family having to travel up to 6 hours. Her mother has been constantly on the phone for 3 days to schedule visits, and yet either she gets no answer or the phone is on all the time. The closing time is supposed to be 4:30 p.m. and yet there is often no answer after 4:00 p.m. I understand that prisoners should be punished for their crimes, but this certainly should not extend to their families. Editor`s Note: Have you tried the new online service www.gov.uk/prison-visits Secure video calls are available in this prison. Family and friends must download the Purple Visits app, create an account, register all visitors and add the prisoner to their contact list. There is a visitor centre run by Spurgeons, a national charity that is open before your visit. Make sure you arrive at least 45 minutes before your visit time so you can be treated by security. These are lockers (£1 deposit) where you can leave your stuff and you can take £15 into the visiting room to buy refreshments.
