Visiting

Visit Booking

Cadell Training Centre is implementing a new system that makes prisoners responsible for their own face-to-face and video domestic visit bookings.

Prisoners are responsible for liaising with their visitor and arranging an agreed date and time.
The prisoner will then use an available prison kiosk to book the visit into the system.

Telephone bookings by domestic visitors are not being accepted.
Visitors can contact the prison via general enquiries if required.

Find out more about the New Program for Domestic Visit Bookings.

All visitors must have 100 points of identification upon entry to Cadell Training Centre, and must arrive 15 minutes early. Visitors are advised to bring the same identification to each visit.
