List of all prisons in England and Wales

From 29 March, prisons in England and Wales will resume social visits when it is safe to do so. This will be when a prison achieves stage 3 of the National Framework for Prisons. This decision will be made by HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) in partnership with health partners.

Certain restrictions apply because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This means that it’s important to check local guidance regularly as the situation in individual prisons may change.

For information on prisons in Scotland, visit the Scottish Prison Service. For information on prisons in Northern Ireland, visit the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
