High security at Brasside

No public roll
Find a prisoner with consent. High-profile cases still go through that form, not a press cutting.
Visits
GOV.UK Frankland guidance only. Expect tighter ID, tighter dress, and less flexibility on late arrival than at a local. PACT or the listed family provider on the official page is who you ask, not a Durham local-prison number.
Brasside, not Old Elvet
Outskirts of Durham. You need a plan, not a wander from the station. Cars are how most families arrive; follow the official parking note on GOV.UK.
