As part of our COVID-19 protocols to mitigate against the spread of the virus, items are NOT allowed to be brought into the facility.
However, provisions can be made with the approval of the Superintendent of the facility, to have approved items brought in, strictly on a ‘needs’ basis. This provision is only extended for items of clothing.
The needs of the offender are assessed and taken to the Superintendent for approval. A family member is contacted and advised of the items required. The items can be dropped off at any time and would not be considered as a visit. Items are sanitized and searched in the presence of the relative and only items on the approved list are accepted.
If the relative wishes to see the offender, he/she can do so by scheduling an appointment and advising that approval was granted to carry items.
Visitors should note that once approval is granted, names are sent to the Visit Officer for his information and guidance, and as such, approval for items would be subjected to verification.
