What this actually means
Visit cost is usually travel plus time off work, not the visit itself. The Assisted Prison Visits Scheme exists because this is a known barrier.
Remote prisons are a different product from city locals. Check trains and taxis before you promise a Saturday.
If you qualify for help, claim it. It is not a favour.
Questions families ask
