Normal visits: Maximum of 3 adults are allowed on a visit plus children - but a child aged 10 or over is classed as an adult for seating purposes.
You cannot visit unless you are on the prisoner's approved visitor list.
If you are not on the approved list then you should ask the prisoner to submit your details to the prison - the prisoner will need full name/address/date of birth/relationship and telephone number. The prison then approves you and adds your details on to the system. Getting added to someone’s visitor list usually takes 7 days. This system is designed to give the prisoner some choice and control over who visits him.
Please note: children/babies must also be on the approved visitor list before attending.
No one will be allowed to stay in the visitors centre whilst the visits are taking place.
What ID documents will I need?
You will be called, usually by number, when the officers are ready to check your ID and take your photo. Everyone needs to have ID checked on every visit. Only adults and children over 10 will have their photos taken.
Please note that you will have your ID checked each time you visit, so you should always bring it with you!

Where North Road forks, follow the slip road to the right (near Iceland) into the City Centre. This leads into ‘Silver Street’, a pedestrian area.

All visitors to HMP Durham are subject to searching, which is similar to a domestic airport.
Visitors are searched by staff of the same gender, although male visitors can be searched by female staff, unless they request otherwise.
Children and babies are also subject to search. If your baby is searched, this will be done by a female officer in front of you. You may be asked to remove their nappy, but a new one will be provided. If your baby is wrapped in a blanket, the blanket will have to be left in the search area.
Visitors with religious clothing or headwear are subject to searching. This is done in private by staff of the same gender. You will be given plenty of time to replace your headwear.
You will walk through a portal/scanner and then be patted down by a member of staff. Coats and jewellery will be checked by hand or machine.
Please note, if you need the toilet once you are on the visit, you will have to go through the search process again.
Passive drug dogs are sometimes deployed at Durham: if your child is frightened of dogs you should inform staff. The dogs are friendly and do not bark.

How can I send money to the prisoner?
Family and friends are able to log on to an online electronic system to send money to a prisoner. When you log in you will need to set up a ‘payee’ very much like you would when you do your internet banking. To do this you need the prisoner’s number and date of birth. Once you have input these into the online form and the system has checked this against NOMIS, if the details match, the money will then appear on the prison’s internal spreadsheet (an admin tool) the following morning for approval. The system also gives you an option to pay via a debit card.
Once the money has been approved it should appear within 1-3 days in the prisoner’s bank account.
You are no longer able to send cheques, postal orders and cash into the prisoner.
If you cannot use the online service you may be able to apply for an exemption - for example if you:
- are unable to use a computer, a smart phone or the internet - do not have a debit card
This will allow you to send money by post.
For more information visit here and to arrange transfer of money to a prisoner visit https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money

Booking a prison visit should be simple and straightforward. Until now that was far from the case. Booking a visit required both prisoner and visitor to jump through hoops: paper forms and drawn-out phone calls. And if the visit date turned out to be impossible, they had to start all over again.
Now you can book a visit online . It takes about 5 minutes. Before, picking an available date was pot luck. Now there's a date-picker that lets you select 3 possible slots instead of 1. It’s a straight-forward service with user-needs at its heart but, if you get stuck, you can call the prison's visits booking line and someone will help you with the booking.
Here's a very short film we've made about it:
By making it easier to book visits, prisoners will see more of their friends and family. Evidence suggests this will help their rehabilitation. Transformation isn't just about websites.
The service was built by the Ministry of Justice, with a combined team from the National Offender Management Service, HM Prison Service and MoJ Digital Services.

You might want to get in touch with the prison first before booking a visit. You can find the contact details of the prison here: http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder
Comment by Debs posted on 27 July 2015
Hello Is there a list of prisons where online booking can't be used?
Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 28 July 2015
According to the information on this page: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits , you can arrange a visit to any prison in England and Wales through this service. If you're visiting someone in Northern Ireland or Scotland you'll need to contact the prison directly.
This link also lists the type of visits that are not covered by the online service: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits so you need to get in touch with the prison directly.
Hope that's helpful.

So how do I find the booking form to fill in I am new to computers
Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 27 July 2015
Here's the link to the booking form: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits
You'll need this information to complete the form:
prisoner number prisoner’s date of birth dates of birth for all visitors coming with you make sure the person you’re visiting has added you to their visitor list
Hope that's useful.
Comment by Shawnaa posted on 09 May 2015
i have a visit booked which i did online but i do not have a visiting order woll the prison let me in?
Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 11 May 2015
Your identity will be checked on arrival to make sure you’re on the visitor list.
Comment by jessicca posted on 27 January 2015
What happens after you book the visit and its confirmed by email do you need the visiting order ?
Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 29 January 2015
The Visiting Order (VO) number is generated by the booking system, it is included in your confirmation email and you will need this to change or cancel a booking.
However, if you're visiting a prison the guidance is that you only need your ID, not the VO number. If when you visit the prison you are asked for the VO number you should report this via the Contact Us link on the Prison Visits Booking form.
I hope that helps.
Comment by Ilysa Mcnally posted on 18 November 2014
How late in advance can I book e.g. book a visit today (Tuesday) for the Sunday coming???
Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 19 November 2014
Hi Ilysa. Thanks for your question. A visit needs to be booked 3 working days in advance. So in this case, the visit request would have to be no later than Tuesday to allow for a visit on Sunday.
Comment by carole posted on 23 October 2014
