Prisoner to prisoner visit

26 Prisoner to prisoner visit

(1) The chief executive may allow a prisoner (the
"visiting prisoner" ) to visit another prisoner who is a relative of the visiting prisoner if it is operationally feasible.
(2) In considering whether it is operationally feasible, the chief executive must consider all relevant factors, including, for example—
(a) if the 2 prisoners are not accommodated at the same corrective services facility—
(i) the distance between the corrective services facilities in which the prisoners are accommodated; and
(ii) the risk of the visiting prisoner escaping, or attempting to escape, during the transfer between the corrective services facilities and while visiting; and
(b) the prisoners’ security classifications; and
(c) whether the visit could pose a risk to the security or good order of a corrective services facility.
(3) If the chief executive has decided to allow a visit as mentioned in subsection (1) , the chief executive must, on the day of the proposed visit, again consider whether the visit could pose a risk to the security or good order of a corrective services facility.
