Visiting an imprisoned parent in custody and/or in prison
o What is it like visiting a parent in custody and/ or in prison?
o What works well?
o What can be improved?
Information
o "It´s because we are not
gonna help him escape, I
mean so that we´re not
gonna try to break the
glass and run away with
dad."
And the whole time I was
thinking – “What would have
happened if it was a fire?” It's
really difficult to get through all
those doors. I was just thinking
“God, they must have someone
really dangerous in this
custody / ... /? "

Attitude from the staff
”Whatever he´s
done he is still my
father.”
"Sometimes I talk to the
police that work here.
But sometimes they don
´t answer. And
sometimes they tell me
that I can have a
colouring book. "

Contact
“And the letters take
too long to deliver,
and then you have
already said it."
"Of course you appreciate the
two calls a week that we have
when I haven´t heard from
my mother for several
weeks."
