Mate of mines just been sent to prison..And now i have the release date :)

[Jackman]

Was just wondering if anyone had any information about visiting etc..

I know you have to get a visiting order or something..

but im unsure how to get one.

any help would be great :y:

Thanks.

[DevilDamo]

I'm sure they'd differ from prison to prison so I'd get in contact with them or a department who deals with it direct.

[Matt_e]

what did he go to prison for

[Mitchell]

what did he go to prison for

always one nosey c*nt ;)

[Richardson_VTS]

naughty boy!!, how long he in for?

[Jackman]

6 months.

And im not sure its my place to shout out what for. sorry.

[DavoVTR]

6 months.

And im not sure its my place to shout out what for. sorry.

Sensible lad - a good mate!

You need to speak to people at the prison like receptionists/admin people. Each prison has different rules as to how long and when, how often etc.

[kenny]

you have to phone and book a visit now. usually give 24 hours notice and can go see him. to book a visit its the prison he is in your phone but their are lines to phone to do this.

phone the main reception of the prison and they will point you in the right direction

hope this helps

[Jackman]

Brilliant thanks alot :)

ill give them a ring on my break in work tomorrow :y:

[Amiee]

yeh the visiting times/slots are diff at each prison i think, my mate visits her bf every other week i think its every 3 weeks if thats any help?

[Jackman]

[Amiee]

yeh thats pretty decent of you not to be shouting what hes in for, most people just tell every person who ask lol x

[saxooxas]

oo shit no way! yeah sounds like you intend to visit a lot which is good of you.

[kenny]

some prisons you can go everyday iirc and some is 3days out of 7.

there all different but best to phone and ask

[Jackman]

some prisons you can go everyday iirc and some is 3days out of 7.

there all different but best to phone and ask

If i can see him atleast once a week id be pleased.

i hope they let him out early for good behaviour.

but ill give him as much support as i can while hes there

[Viper]

Thank you. :y:

I wana get in to see him ASAP! i get fridays off so im hoping i can get in this friday. or ill book a day off work

you could kill someone.. lol, that would get you in with him for the whole 6 months :y:

[dazvtr]

if he is in on remand i think he can have as many visits as he like! what prison mate?

[Clarkson]

6 months.

And im not sure its my place to shout out what for. sorry.

You might think im a cock but if you didnt want to shout it out, you wouldnt have posted.

thats all.

[woodsy]

pm'ed matey

[Amiee]

if hes got 6 months i take it was only a "minor" crime so probs will be out sooner than that i would think, they need the space lol

[Jackman]

You might think im a cock but if you didnt want to shout it out, you wouldnt have posted.

thats all.

i wanted information mate. not to tell the world my mates in prison.

but your opinion is fine.

[kenny]

there bringing in a new scheme to prisons that if a person is in the prison for between 3months and UNDER 3 years they are asked if they wish to be released on a tag after 2months i think and the rest of the sentence on the tag.

might not apply everywhere but it does apply in perth near me.

before people ask or wonder No i havent been to prison but i know of a few people who have been and are in prison at the minute

[woodsy]

before people ask or wonder No i havent been to prison but i know of a few people who have been and are in prison at the minute

so what if you have ... prison is a punishment for crimes that cannot be served in the community

[Viper]

You might think im a cock but if you didnt want to shout it out, you wouldnt have posted.

thats all.

no.. because he was asking about visiting..

[Jackman]

no.. because he was asking about visiting..

Thank you.

im not looking for attention or out.

i just dont have any experience on this sort of thing.

and ive had some good advice from posting the thread.

[kenny]

nah im not saying anything about prisons etc i was just stating that i hadnt been.

[woodsy]

nah im not saying anything about prisons etc i was just stating that i hadnt been.

you made a point of saying incase people wonder, no you havent been to prison

and i was just saying, so what if you have, your buisness ... :y:

[kenny]

no probs dude :y:

[Predator_R32]

they have to send a visiting order out mate, the inmate that is, basically he will ask or tell an officer for a V.O form (visiting order) then the inmate puts who he wants to come, how old they are and what relation they are to him :y:

[Jackman]

no probs dude :y:

Ive never stepped foot near a prison but its just up the road from me. so i dont have to travel far.

Im quite nervous about going there lol.

[Jackman]

Excellent. i better be on this lil list or i wont be happy :p

[kenny]

i always thought a vo form was only if you were held on remand and not actually in prison doing a sentence (sp)

sure you can ask if your on the list tho

[Predator_R32]

lol inmate will sit on the red seat usually :)

get a bit frisked too, prey its a woman officer :)
nah kenny its prison slang lol, V.O. Visiting order, if there on remand they wear a different colour vest, think its blue for remand and red/orange for convicted

[Jackman]

Ill look forward to that.

[saxodan]

You might think im a cock but if you didnt want to shout it out, you wouldnt have posted.

thats all.

Sorry but I have to agree there 100%

If you dont want anyone to know, surley you google it or ring the prison.. not post on a saxo forum with a load of nosy prats

6 months.. there is only a handul of things he could be in for.. but I wont start firing guess's of :wink:

[Predator_R32]

make sure you get the guy loads of snacks too :y:

[kenny]

only bad thing about the female prison guards is they generally look at u as scum in my experience with them when visiting a mate

[Jackman]

Sorry but I have to agree there 100%

Everyones entitled to an opinion.

i obviously wanted the whole saxo forum to know though!

but why search when i can get some good healthy advise off you guys.

[saxodan]

i obviously wanted the whole saxo forum to know though!



In that case whats your mate in for ;)

[kenny]

well said jackman :y:

[Saxoladlesta]

Knowing this government your mate will probably be released on "good behaviour" before you get a chance to see him.
:n:

[Jackman]

Like i said. im not telling.

google it. might find it there.

[saxodan]

Like i said. im not telling.

google it. might find it there.

Lol good one

On another note my mum works for the prison service.

I can ask who has just been sentanced in Bridgeend etc etc and find people on 6 month stays...

But that would be sad :panic:

Did you know they can also search (and I mean search :wink:) visitors that they suspect of carying drugs?

btw my mum works in the drugs unit lol

get the luuube out baby

[Jackman]

Easier to add "Martin Jackman" to the watch list of suspected offenders

:homme:

[Jackman]

:homme:

Sounds intresting:homme:

[Viper]

so dan.. ur mum likes poking around in people's arseholes.. nice of you to admit that on an widely used forum :y:

send her round mine will ya?

[MarkyG]

i remember my mate Gav got sent down for beating his girlfriend to a pulp, he deserved everything he got tho, putting the poor girl on life support!

he got out after 4 months, went home, knocked on the door and an OAp answered it, him not knowing his parents had moved to america cos they were ashamed of him for what he did, bit harsh but i felt sorry for him.

R.I.P Gav...

[MarkyG]

no one in chelmsford ever spoke to him after that, i was the only one who stood by him. he was really messed up cos of it tho. Chelmsford Prison was not nice at that point from what i used to hear about the place.

[Connor_scotland]

good luck hope you gett everything sorted

[Lil_Sis]

Someone my mate knew originally got 12 months but it got reduced to 6 months.... he'd attacked someone with a steering lock the c*ck. He deserved what he got an should have been in longer in my opinion... he's a right chav and since being let out he hasn't changed... his gf even drove him to the guys who were giving him some shit so he could wallop them with something....

thick b*st*rds......... but she was only allowed to see him once every 3 weeks.

But good luck to your mate... and I hope for your sake you get to see him more than that x x

[sharpy24]

Lol good one

sorry to drag up an old thread but i just thought id share my 2p. saxodan the only way your mum could access information like that is if she works in the court. local prisons do not and are unable to find out lists of who has been sentrnced/remanded for what.

even if she did somehow perform the impossible and find out, and told anyone then she would be breaking the official secrets act, as we all have to sign it the second we are offered a job. and if she did do it then she is almost as pathetic as you for posting what you have done.


jackman, i hope you have already got it sorted to go see your friend, from your profile i see you're in bridgend, so guessing hes at parc? i know quite a few staff from parc and its not that bad a place from all reports. but i couldn't really help you with the visiting side as its a private prison ran by group4securicor so they have different guidelines and rules on visits, but they usually have a dedicated visits booking line

Ask your mate if theres anything he would like you to bring him in, i.e books or cd's or even some photos of mates family etc, even small things are a comfort inside especially if its his 1st time.

If you want any more info feel free to pm me, i will try my best to help ;)

[sharpy24]

haha another misconception. by law you are only allowed to 'pat down' visitors. they walk under a metal dector like the ones in airports, and if carrying a handbag or anything it goes through the x ray machine or is searched by the osg's (operational support staff)

If you are suspected of conveying anything at all the visit is termanated and the police called. They are the only people allowed to strip search a civillian and thats only if they are arrested anyway. If they suspect something has been passed during a visit then after the visit is ended as normal or terminated early the prisoner then has to go and be strip searched which yes usually does involve squatting over a mirror lol.

[Connor_scotland]

you know your stuff mate

Do you work in a prison

[Angel]

this is true i used to visit some1 in prison ..

you wont get searched unless they think nessesary but you do have to go through the airport style thing of emptying your pockets and going through a metal detector and your bag through a scanner .

you could always give the prison a ring about visits and you could always ask them to get a message to the person u want to see

hope that helps a bit

thanks alot for the information. you have a pm :)

[Ryan21]

Off subject but the worst nick in the UK is armely, 24hour look up...one of lads i know got addicted to heroin and went down the wrong road with dealing etc to fund his habbit, got caught with a lot on him and did 6 years, I ican remember him telling me they had to peel the pastry off sausage rolls off the meat and just eat the sausage cos the pastry was that old! said it was a shit time but you should see him now, glowing with health and a nipper and mrs in his life...weird how prison can turn peeps lifes around

[VTS_16v_Boy]

6months will pass really quickly (maybe not for him tho)

Besides no matter what he 'has' or 'hasn't' done as long as he behaves himself, steers clear of the wrong people in there he'll be let out early anyway.

You sound like a top mate to this bloke - Id like to think someone would do the same for me if Id had to stay at her Majasties pleasure for any amount of time.

Take him loads of Chocolate and Fags (Cigs not Homos as there is probally enought of them in there already) to sell for stuff, and ask him if he thinks he could do the term without going in the showers? I know I wouldnt take a shower in prison :) well, would you? . . . I think not

[Jackman]

i dont think your allowed to take stuff like that in mate.

its only things like magazine etc.

im going to ring up for more informtion today!

[VTS_16v_Boy]

i dont think your allowed to take stuff like that in mate.

Maybe he could trade in Porno's for stuff :y:

[Jackman]

Just contacted the prison all she said was.

'he has to arrange the visits. goodbye'

Lush cheers love:y:

[sharpy24]

Lol guess you work in a prison.. she is part of a drugs unit and has access into a lot of stuff that an officer like you woulden't...

Yes there is the offical secrets act but do you really think my Mum is going to tell me lol

well she is either a nurse, works on the voluntary testing wings or is part of the dst, which i doubt about the last bit. or she is some kind of healthcare support.

haha an officer like me, oh i like it. first of all im not just a lowly officer im a senior officer for a start and have worked in 4 of the worst prisons in the country and am on permanent 24hr call out believe me i will have more access to information than your mum, this also includes medical information, im also more medically qualified than some of the nurses in the hospital wings, being able to administer intravenous drugs and use defibrilating pads etc. (was the worst/hardest 10week course i have ever done lol). dont try and act all clever as if you know what i do as my job, some of the shit i have seen and done would give you nightmares.

And of course your mum isn't going to tell you anything so why make stupid posts like that when the poor lad is only after some information. Go back and crawl under whatever rock you came from and keep your mis-informed smart ass comments to yourself.

jackman, im on my way out of the house il reply to your pm when i get back in ;)

[woodsy]

Off subject but the worst nick in the UK is armely, 24hour look up...

i dont think so mate ... thats against human rights

all prisoners are entitled to exercise each morning for half an hour

education/workshop for 7 hours a day

and association time every day (depending on the prison)

[Jackman]

Thanks for the bad rep whoever it was :y:

Spoke to his girlfriend and i should be receiving a visiting order anyday now :)

[Hopcraft]

off topic, but peoples jobs on this forum are mad...its actually everytype nearly, im sure theres some sort of dr on sax-p. Good luck with your mate btw.

[Jackman]

off topic, but peoples jobs on this forum are mad...its actually everytype nearly, im sure theres some sort of dr on sax-p. Good luck with your mate btw.

Yea there is a wide range on here

and thanks:y:

[Predator_R32]

the most theey are locked up for is 23 hours, they have to come out for there meals, exercise, association and education, they can however choose not to do any of them but wont get paid, think the highest pais job is laundry and kitchens, there about 10 - 15 pound a week and thats a lot in a place like that

[Jackman]

15 quid a week?

i spend more than that on food in work a week.

i hope i never go to prison :)

[Predator_R32]

lol they get to spend it on goodies every week on a canteen, but 15 is a hell of a lot. also some prisons have a wings with showers in there cells, but have to be of good behaviour, which prison is he in and is it a adults or YOI

[Jackman]

hes in parc prison.

and hes turning 19 at the end of the month. so its adult.

[Predator_R32]

ahhh ok then, you sure cos 21 means your an adult, you can stay in a YOI until 21 and 10 month if your already in there before your 21st

[stiffler69]

The inmate tells them who they would like to goto visit them then the prison sends out a visitor notice, if this has already been said i couldnt be bothered sifting through pages and just read the first lol

[Jackman]

yea i know he has to send it to me now. just waiting to see if he does.

im not sure if parc has a YOI. could do.

but im pretty sure hes in with the big boys.

[barrett]

off topic, but peoples jobs on this forum are mad...its actually everytype nearly, im sure theres some sort of dr on sax-p. Good luck with your mate btw.
not far off here! 2 yrs to go

[Jackman]

not far off here! 2 yrs to go

Whayyy!

Dr Barrett.

[Jackman]

Just got the release date.

11th May.

Wouldnt send me the order to see him. didnt want me in that environment how ever much i protested.

Hes back for my birthday now. best present ever.

[xsmile_be_happyx]

[Jackman]

[rob_s]

lol glad you saw the humour! at least its sorted

[vtsbabe]

for god sake! the poor guy is prob upset his mate is put away, maybe wanted comfort from his mates of this forum, sometimes it helps to talk about things even is its not in detail, how many of u guys come on here and boast about new mud flaps! give the guy break!

[Jackman]

for god sake! the poor guy is prob upset his mate is put away, maybe wanted comfort from his mates of this forum, sometimes it helps to talk about things even is its not in detail, how many of u guys come on here and boast about new mud flaps! give the guy break!

Lol. its alrite i just see the humour. these people probably dont care but might understand if they are ever in the situation that one of their best mates gets sent down.

i havent taken offence to anything anyone has said.

Thanks for the comment though :y:

[Ryan]

and making coments which are normally from a perspective that can be percived as patronising can be just as bad.

a little bit of humour can be good in a situation that is really hard to deal with.

people need to lighten up a bit.

[Luke]

That's brilliant news mate.

[Jackman]

That's brilliant news mate.

Thank you very much. im well chuffed like
