Visiting days depend on their register number

The main FCI is open to all visitors on any listed day. At the Satellite Camp (SCP), Saturday/Sunday visiting alternates by register number: which weekend an inmate can be visited on depends on whether their register number is odd or even.

Applies to: Satellite camp

Before you book anything, ask your loved one which day and time they're assigned — by phone, email or letter — and confirm it with the facility. The calendar shows every possible visiting day at this facility, not necessarily theirs.
