Polmont YOI New Visit Block building work 2007-2009

We apologise for any inconvenience that the building work may cause and thank you for your patience and support, when work is complete we will have a Visit centre that Polmont staff, visitors and prisoners can be proud of.

Receiving a custodial sentence can have a major impact not only on the individual who has received the sentence, but also to the members of his family and close supportive friends.

Families have to deal with worries and fears about how they can cope with the situation and they are sometimes left in the dark about what happens in prison. The information included is designed to provide you with information on what the regime in Polmont YOI can provide for your relative and explain how you can access support if required.

We hope that throughout a young offender’s sentence, we will be able to work together with his close family and /or supportive friends, to help him resolve the issues that have lead him into offending behaviour.

We recognise that his family is in a key position to provide guidance and help if required and we would welcome your input and suggestions at any time. We also appreciate that family and close supportive friends may require some support and guidance in coming to terms with issues surrounding the present situation.
