For Family members, you may refer to these FAQs to quickly find answers to your queries:
Visitations with Inmates
Generally, family members are allowed to visit inmates upon producing the relevant documentary proofs of their relationship. For non-family members who wish to visit an inmate, their visitation requests are subject to approval by the Singapore Prison Service. To help us process the requests, the Main Card Holder (MCH) would need to complete a “Application Form for Request to Visit an Inmate” at the Prison Link Centre (Changi).
Community Based Programmes (CBP)
Community Based Programmes (CBP) allow suitable inmates to serve the tail-end of their sentences or Detention Orders in the community, under supervision. CBP may include Home Detention Scheme or Halfway House Scheme. During the period of CBP, inmates are generally required to engage in purposeful activities such as work or study. There is no need to apply for CBP as inmates who qualify for it will automatically be considered.
Medical Treatment
The medical team in prison, which comprises qualified doctors and medical staff ensures that all inmates are given adequate medical care during their incarceration. Referrals to specialist treatment/care will also be made depending on our doctor’s assessment of inmates’ medical conditions.
Inmates Letters
All inmates can receive letters. Standard correspondence materials including greeting cards and postcards are subject to screening and approval by the Singapore Prison Service. Non-standard correspondence materials such as musical, perfumed, pop-ups, irregular-shaped, unusually large, glossy surface, pasted with neo-prints/stickers, printed with personal photographs, etc. will not be allowed.
