What HMP Leicester is
HMP Leicester holds adult men as a local prison. Capacity is small by national standards, which means crowding is a standing inspection theme — not a public list of names.
Locating someone at HMP Leicester
HMP Leicester 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 Leicester
Book HMP Leicester 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 Leicester
Leicester station, then a short bus or a walk towards Welford Road / the prison wall. City parking is grim. Public transport is the sane option.
