FAMILIES of inmates at all prisons, moral and special rehabilitation centres, detention centres, and the Henry Gurney School are allowed to visit them on the third and fourth day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. 

The Prisons Department in a statement today said priority visits would be given to Muslim inmates. 

Online meetings are also allowed from April 26 to 28. 

For families who choose to have face-to-face meetings, visiting hours are between 8.15am and 4.15pm. 

They are also required to have Covid-19 test results that must be valid for three days after sample collection and be asymptomatic. 

According to the Prisons Department, visits are only allowed where appointments are made through the i-Visit System at www.prison.gov.my, or via phone calls, e-mails, or letters to the institutions concerned. 

“The institution will set the date and time for the meeting after the reservation is made and they need to contact the relevant institution to get more information,” the department stated. – Bernama, April 12, 2023.
