VISITING

Perth is one of the largest prisons in the country. We appreciate that visiting a prisoner may be a daunting prospect. As well as this it may pose many problems for those who travel from other towns or cities. For directions to HM Prison Perth, click here.

The Scottish Prison Service has a commitment to caring for those who have been committed by a court of law. We at Perth believe that family contact is a major contributing factor to any of our prisoners' sentence, no matter how long.

Within HMP Perth there are a number of officers who have voluntarily dedicated time to promoting family contact - these officers are known as FCDO's and can be contacted at any time. We also aim to have at least one of these officers present at each visit session. Any prisoner can speak to an FCDO at any time if he wishes to do so.

It must be pointed out that no messages will be passed on to prisoners unless in extreme emergency. This is partly due to the number of prisoners held within the establishment and the time consumption in passing messages.
