Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 88
Remand prisoners' entitlement to visits not consistently met post-pandemic.
Conclusion
We heard evidence that targets for the number of visits a remand prisoner is entitled to are still not being achieved as prisons are yet to fully emerge from their pandemic regimes. HMPPS should ensure this entitlement is met, including giving consideration as to whether greater use of video facilities set up to communicate with courts could be used to facilitate remote visits where in-person visits are not possible.
