What HMP Cardiff is
HMP Cardiff is a men’s Category B local. It is HMPPS, not the G4S/contractor world at Parc. Welsh court papers still send men here first.
Locating someone at HMP Cardiff
HMP Cardiff 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 Cardiff
Book HMP Cardiff 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 Cardiff
Cardiff Central or Queen Street, then a short taxi to Knox Road. It is central. Parking is a city-centre fight.
