NOTE: These
norms concerning the Juvenile Section apply to the both
loved ones on remand and sentenced.
For the norms concerning visits to loved ones held
in any other section of the the prisons click here.
Maltese
version
The permit you are given at Court to visit
your loved one at the Juvenile Section (click here to
see how to obtain it) gives you the advantage of receiving
telephone calls from him. Telephone
calls can only be made after your first visit to the prisons.
Do not forget: No visit can be made if you do not produce
your personal ID card/passport/driving licence. ALWAYS GO
FOR VISITS AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE ESTABLISHED TIME.
Your loved one can:
- Receive your visits on any three days from Monday to Friday.
These visits are held from behind a glass screen (called
a "non-contact visit"). On Mondays,
Wednesdays
and Fridays
visits begin at 4.00 pm; on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 10.00 am. Each visit lasts 15 minutes. You may
choose to visit on any three of the five days at the appointed
time.
For
the
first
visit
you need to announce your arrival prior to the visit. Than,
it is your loved one who books
the rest of the visits. There are no visits on feast days.
- Meet you face to face around a table one a week for 90
minutes. This is called a "contact visit". This
may be either on Saturday or on Sunday. On both days in the
morning the visit starts at 10.00 am; and on Saturday afternoon
at 4.00 pm. No visit is possible on Sunday evening. Your
loved one must book this visit beforehand, otherwise no visit
may be held.
- Receive an unlimited number of letters from you, but he
can send just one letter a day.
- Receive from you newspapers, books, clothes and/or money
every day during visiting time (both in the morning and the
evening). You may deposit not more than Lm20 at a time.
- Receive from you food only on Sunday mornings from 10.00
till 11.30 am,
and only if your
loved
one
had
booked
for it beforehand, otherwise no food may be left.
For your first visit to the section you need
to have a prison permit made for you. This is done at the "Debituri" (Debtors)
complex, which is on the left-hand side of the Main Gate entrance
of the facility in Valletta Road (No.3 on map).
Contact and non-contact visits are held at
the Juvenile complex whose entrance is along side Ghaddafi Gardens.
The road leading to Main Gate entrance is close to the lower
part of Valletta Road, Paola, very near to the Corradino round-about.
However, there is also a short-cut very close to the Paola
square. It is the side-entrance to the Handicaps' Rehabilitation
Centre, open only during working hours (No.14 on map).
If it is the first time that you are taking
to the prisons personal belongings of your loved one you must
present them at the "Debituri" complex.
This may be done from 9.00 am to 11.00 am, and between 2.00
pm and 3.30 pm, every day
except on Sunday afternoons and feast days. If you need to
take more personal belongings these must be presented at the
Main
Gate entrance of the Juvenile Section itself on Saturdays and
Sundays, except on Sunday afternoons and feast days.
Money may only be deposited at the "Debituri" every
day from 9.00 am to 11.00 am, and between 2.00
pm and 3.30 pm, except on Sunday afternoons and feast days.
No money may be deposited at the Main Gate entrance of the
Juvenile.
