What HMP Bristol is
HMP Bristol holds adult men. Exeter is the Devon local; Leyhill is open in Gloucestershire. Do not book Bristol for a young person at Ashfield.
Horfield is a residential area; follow official parking and arrival notes rather than sat-nav “prison” pins that land on side streets.
Locating someone at HMP Bristol
HMP Bristol does not publish a landing list. Use GOV.UK Find a prisoner with name and date of birth. HMPPS only confirms the prison if the person consents. If they were in court today, wait until the next working day before you decide the form is wrong.
Visiting HMP Bristol
Book HMP Bristol through the national prison-visits service and the official GOV.UK page. You must already be on the visitor list. Session times change; we only reprint a timetable when we have fetched it from that page.
Getting to Bristol
Montpelier or Bristol Parkway, then a bus along Gloucester Road or a taxi to Cambridge Road.
