The timings of our visits are slightly different over Christmas and New Year. Our timetable has been published around the prison, and visitors have been informed when booking. The details are in the picture below.

Keep in touch with your loved one in prison over the festive period with secure video calls. When you speak to your loved one at Wymott, ask them to request a video call with you. You will also need to register at prisonvideo.com/app

We know it’s hard being apart from loved ones over the festive season. At HMP Wymott we can help you keep in touch through visits, video calls, writing a letter or emailing a prisoner. Find out more on our GOV.UK page ⬇️ gov.uk/guidance/wymot… #KeepInTouch

Our most hearty congratulations to our Sikh Chaplain, Nirmal Singh who visited Buckingham Palace on Friday to receive his MBE awarded in the New Year Honours. A well deserved honour for his interfaith and community work, as well as his dedication to @HMPPS.

Last week we held the HMP Wymott 'Ways into Work' event to show local businesses and partners how the pathways we offer here lead to our men gaining valuable skills for sustainable employment on release.

Our prisoners have been able to showcase their recently acquired skills, learnt in one of our workshops, by crafting these bird, bat & hedgehog boxes for a local community project. This work has taught both technical & life skills while giving back to society. Well done everyone!

Over the next couple of days we are going to be posting some highlights from our Family and Significant Others Newsletter. We hope this will be informative and enlightening for all those who have someone they care for in HMP Wymott.

As part of our Family and Significant Others strategy, we are offering reward chats so a family member in prison can be more involved in home life. These are available from our Family Development Worker in the visits hall.

We hold regular family forums to discuss with heads of departments what rehabilitation activities are offered. If you have a loved one here at HMP Wymott & are interested in becoming part of the family forum, please speak with the POPS team in the Visitor Centre.

We know how important strengthening family ties is for rehabilitation and reducing reoffending. Here are some useful contacts for our family and significant others team. See our Gov.UK page for all the ways to keep in touch: gov.uk/guidance/wymot…
