KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Inmates of prisons, Moral Rehabilitation Centres, Special Rehabilitation Centres, Special Detention Centres, and Henry Gurney Schools are permitted visits by family members during the third and fourth day of Hari Raya Aidiladha this year.
The Prison Department announced that priority would be given to Muslim inmates, and visitors are not permitted to bring any food or drinks, but refreshments may be purchased from the prison canteen.
"Families opting for in-person visits must adhere to certain conditions, including visitation hours from 8.15am to 4.15pm and produce their Visiting Card and Identification Card," it said in a statement today.
Visitors are discouraged from giving money to the inmates, as all basic amenities are provided by the department.
"If visitors wish to give money to the inmates for specific purposes such as examination fees and the like, please obtain an official receipt, PPT. 28, as an acknowledgement of receipt," said the department.
From June 19 to June 21, families who are unable to visit in person can also visit online via video calls.
"Please contact the respective institutions for further information," it said.
