Prisoner’s entitlement to visits
153 Prisoner’s entitlement to visits
A prisoner is only entitled to receive a visit from—
a personal visitor once a week; and
a legal visitor.
The chief executive may allow the prisoner to receive extra visits, including, for example—
for a prisoner who was the primary care giver of a child—a visit from the child to maintain the relationship with the child; or
a visit from a relevant elder or respected person to ensure appropriate levels of cultural interaction and support.
The chief executive may allow a prisoner to visit another prisoner in another corrective services facility, subject to any conditions the chief executive reasonably considers appropriate.
The chief executive may allow more than 1 personal visitor to visit a prisoner at the same time, if it is within the operational limits of the corrective services facility.
