The Correctional Services Department said that in accordance with the law, it declined a visitor who is not on the declared visitors list of a person in custody (PIC) for a visit this morning.

According to the established mechanism, visitors must be declared on the PIC's declared visitors list.

The Prison (Amendment) Rules 2025 came into effect last Friday. The department has not invoked Rule 48 of the Prison Rules to prohibit any person from conducting visits, nor has it imposed restrictions or conditions on any visits.
