What HMP Swansea is
HMP Swansea is a men’s local for West Wales court traffic. Capacity is modest. Transfers to Parc or Cardiff happen; check the locator before you reuse last month’s booking.
Locating someone at HMP Swansea
HMP Swansea 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 Swansea
Book HMP Swansea 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 Swansea
Swansea station, then a short bus or walk towards Oystermouth Road. Seafront parking is not a prison car park. Walk the last bit if you can.
