I wasn't sure! But the point I was sure about was that the prisoner has to send them a visitors request form and that visitors can't just turn up on the day and demand to see a prisoner. Which is what you see in soups and the way it's done is like it's on the same day or the day after someone gets nicked! Perhaps it certain circumstances they can? But once someone is convicted they can't!

[quote=kestrelx;965698]Well thanks for clearing it all up I wasn't 100% sure! However the issue I was pointing out was that an individual family or otherwise except legal representation - can't just turn up at a prison and demand to see a prisoner! They have to go through the process of getting a Visitors form sent to them by the prisoner. The rest if it is splitting hairs!quote]

Yes Kestrel and the reason you and I know this about convicted prisoners is that we have both been through the experience of prison visiting.

I presume you are talking about Barry Stanton. My post about him was over a week ago and I wasn't sure you had seen it. I assume my info was correct according to your mum.

It would be helpful if you quoted the post you are replying to as there have been quite a lot on different topics since then.

I have the same question Margaret, it looks like a short - but I don't know maybe it's been edited? Certainly shows how boring their life is! Also never drink tea in bed just before sleeping - likely as not you'll be getting up to use the toilet!
