Prisoner Location Service

If you know someone is in prison but are unsure which prison they are in, the Prisoner Location Service can help you find them. The person in prison has the choice to say whether they do or don't want you to have the details of which prison they are in.

If you want to find, and make contact with a prisoner, you must give the Prisoner Location Service certain details. This is so that the prisoner can decide whether or not they want to make contact with you.
