Prison Visit Service
City Mission’s Prison Visit Service provides free transport for friends and family members who would like to visit loved ones currently in prison. The service operates on the second Saturday of each month and travels to Risdon Prison Complex in Hobart.
Before booking with us, you must contact the prison on 6165 7400 to book a time to visit between 12:30pm and 2pm on the Saturday of the Prison Visit Service.
To be eligible to visit, you must be registered as a visitor and approved by Corrective Services. All visitors must provide approved government photo ID (drivers licence, passport etc.) and children under 18 can visit parents if ID has been provided.
Once your visitation time has been confirmed by the prison you must then book your seat with us through City Mission’s Family Services on 6335 3000. Your seat will need to be booked before 4pm on the Thursday prior to your visit. Please note we have limited capacity, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
The Prison Visit Service departs at 9am from City Mission’s Chapel, 48 Frederick St Launceston and arrives at Risdon Prison Complex at approximately 12.30pm. The service returns to Launceston around 6pm.
