Answer 1

entitled to visits, once at the prison, like anybody other prisoner, whether on remand or sentenced. Visitors ring up the gaol and book a visit.

Make sure you take correct identification and adhere to the rules of the centre for visitors. He/She will be in Maximum Security.
Ask the staff when you ring what they are.

Answer 2

If they are being held in pre-trial, you cannot get visitation. Until after the sentancing process.
