Here’s some facts about Humber Prison

HMP Humber is a category C prison in Everthorpe, East Riding of Yorkshire. Opened as a merger between HMP Everthorpe and HMP Wolds in 2015, the prison has capacity to hold 1062 male inmates.

Zone 1 (formally Wolds) contains wings A to G wings, while zone 2 (also formally Wolds) consists of wings H to O. A wing is the first night centre and induction unit and has 60 beds. B, C and D wings each have 60 beds, as do E and F wings which form the drug recovery unit. G wing is an enhanced unit with 30 beds. The segregation unit has 18 beds. H wing has 79 beds, I wing has 96 beds, J, K and L wing have 82 beds each and M wing has 81 beds. The enhanced unit, N wing, has 120 beds and O wing, the category D resettlement unit, has 14 beds.

£500,000 worth of drugs were found in the prison in just three months up to December 2016.

To view the latest HMIP inspection report, click here .

Visiting hours are between 14:00 and 16:00 Mon-Sun, and 09:00 – 11:00 Sat-Sun.

In 2008, Everthorpe came under scrutiny when it was revealed that smuggling of drugs and other illegal goods was rife in the prison.

HMP Everthorpe and HMP Wolds are situated directly next to one another, which makes the merger relatively straightforward to complete.

HMP Everthorpe has been criticised in the past for not offering enough opportunity for inmates to join the resettlement scheme.

Prison Phone offers phone tariffs that reduce the costs of calls from this prison by up to 75%! This enables prisoners to get the support and love that they are missing from home, while reducing costs for the inmate. Find out more below.

You can now book a prison visit online

You can now book a prison visit online

Booking a prison visit should be simple and straightforward. Until now that was far from the case. Booking a visit required both prisoner and visitor to jump through hoops: paper forms and drawn-out phone calls. And if the visit date turned out to be impossible, they had to start all over again.

Now you can book a visit online . It takes about 5 minutes. Before, picking an available date was pot luck. Now there's a date-picker that lets you select 3 possible slots instead of 1. It’s a straight-forward service with user-needs at its heart but, if you get stuck, you can call the prison's visits booking line and someone will help you with the booking.

Here's a very short film we've made about it:

By making it easier to book visits, prisoners will see more of their friends and family. Evidence suggests this will help their rehabilitation. Transformation isn't just about websites.

The service was built by the Ministry of Justice, with a combined team from the National Offender Management Service, HM Prison Service and MoJ Digital Services.

For more of the story behind this service, read Mike Bracken's account of his trip to HMP Rochester or check out the service’s transformation page .

Comment by Olivia posted on 30 July 2015

Hi, If a visit is booked and someone cant make it, is it possible to change the name of one of the people to someone else?

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 30 July 2015

It's best to contact the prison directly if this happens. You can find contact details here: http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder

Thanks, Louise

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 29 July 2015

You might want to get in touch with the prison first before booking a visit. You can find the contact details of the prison here: http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder

Comment by Debs posted on 27 July 2015

Hello Is there a list of prisons where online booking can't be used?

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 28 July 2015

According to the information on this page: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits , you can arrange a visit to any prison in England and Wales through this service. If you're visiting someone in Northern Ireland or Scotland you'll need to contact the prison directly.

This link also lists the type of visits that are not covered by the online service: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits so you need to get in touch with the prison directly.

Hope that's helpful.

Comment by c.steer posted on 26 July 2015

So how do I find the booking form to fill in I am new to computers

Comment by Louise Duffy posted on 27 July 2015

Here's the link to the booking form: https://www.gov.uk/prison-visits

You'll need this information to complete the form:

prisoner number prisoner’s date of birth dates of birth for all visitors coming with you make sure the person you’re visiting has added you to their visitor list

Hope that's useful.

Comment by Shawnaa posted on 09 May 2015

i have a visit booked which i did online but i do not have a visiting order woll the prison let me in?

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 11 May 2015

Your identity will be checked on arrival to make sure you’re on the visitor list.

Comment by jessicca posted on 27 January 2015

What happens after you book the visit and its confirmed by email do you need the visiting order ?

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 29 January 2015

The Visiting Order (VO) number is generated by the booking system, it is included in your confirmation email and you will need this to change or cancel a booking.

However, if you're visiting a prison the guidance is that you only need your ID, not the VO number. If when you visit the prison you are asked for the VO number you should report this via the Contact Us link on the Prison Visits Booking form.

I hope that helps.

Comment by Ilysa Mcnally posted on 18 November 2014

How late in advance can I book e.g. book a visit today (Tuesday) for the Sunday coming???

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 19 November 2014

Hi Ilysa. Thanks for your question. A visit needs to be booked 3 working days in advance. So in this case, the visit request would have to be no later than Tuesday to allow for a visit on Sunday.

Comment by carole posted on 23 October 2014

How far in advance can you book visits

Comment by Carrie Barclay posted on 23 October 2014

Hi Carole. You can book up to 28 days in advance. Thanks for your question.

Comment by kimberly posted on 16 August 2015

REgimes at HMP Humber

Currently the prison operates separate regimes on each site. Full integration of the regime will take place when the sites are physically merged in January 2015.

The prison has dedicated wings for induction/complex needs, drug treatment, older prisoners, enhanced and a 14 bed hostel for Category D prisoners.

Reducing re-offending is seen as a primary purpose of the establishment, and the prison supports both the National and Regional Pathways to Reducing Re-Offending. Offender Management regimes.

Offending Behaviour Programmes: Focusing On Resettlement (FOR) programme – is a brief cognitive motivational intervention for those serving sentences of four years and under.  The programme aims to reduce reoffending by increasing offenders’ motivation to set their own ‘agenda for change’ as they prepare for release and increase their engagement with services providing assistance with resettlement.

RESOLVE – is a moderate intensity cognitive behavioural group work intervention that aims to reduce violence in medium to high-risk adult and young male offenders. It has been designed to take account of recent developments in violence research and draws on a number of theories related to violence and antisocial behaviour; cognitive-behavioural and social learning theories, as well as multi-factorial models of general aggression.

RAPt 12 step programme – is a Substance Dependency Treatment Programme (SDTP) three phase abstinence-based 12-step programme, designed to be run over approximately 16 weeks (the exact length depends on the frequency with which sessions in Phases 1 and 3 are run). Substance Misuse Recovery Strategy

Like all prisons, HMP Humber is committed to providing a safe, drug & alcohol free environment for staff, offenders and visitors. Rigorous measures are employed to prevent and tackle attempts to supply drugs to into the prison. The prison team is multi disciplinary enabling them to offer a diverse approach to addiction services. This includes providing needs assessment, one-to-one counselling, onward referral to other rehabilitation services, links with local community & national drug support agencies and Offender Management Teams in custody and within the community.

The prison also offer a range of interventions to assist offenders in overcoming their drug addictions; these include RAPt (Rehabilitation for addicted Prisoners Trust), IDTS (Integrated Drug Treatment System, DARS (Drug and Alcohol Recovery Services) and the use of Offender Peers Support Workers to encourage and support offenders before, during and after they have attended programmes.

The drugs teams work closely with Physical Education department who provide a Substance Misuse Gymnasium Programme, which supports offenders through their detoxification process by the use of exercise. The programme is 12 weeks long and tailored to individual ability. Medical Facilities

Visits room security staff maintain a balance between security and support. Staff are trained to detect any attempts to pass contraband within the visits room and to challenge behaviour which contravenes normally accepted public decency standards .

Dress Code for Visitors

HMP Northumberland operates a family orientated visits policy. The majority of our visitors are accompanied by children and we want to foster a decent, safe and relaxed family environment for all our visitors.

The following items of clothing should not be worn:

×   Hats, scarves or head coverings which are not worn on religious grounds

×   Mini or very short skirts/dresses unless worn with leggings

This list is not exhaustive.

It is up to prison staff to make decisions and judgements as to when clothing is inappropriate. When making these decisions, staff will always consider decency and diversity. You may be asked to adjust clothing or wear alternative clothing if available. As a last resort your visit may be cancelled if the dress code cannot be followed.

Security guidance and details about enforced behavioural standards for those visiting prisoners at HMP Northumberland.

  • Visitors undergo a number of security procedures before gaining entry to the visit room. This is to prevent escape and prevent the introduction of illicit items.  
  • By concentrating on entry procedures, a more relaxed environment can be created within the visit room, enhancing the experience.  
  • Visitors must provide their identity , provide biometric finger scans , undergo rub down and drug detection dog searches , submit items for X-ray and be checked with metal detector wand s.

Some costs can also be claimed if overnight accommodation is required to attend a visit. Claimants must be over the age of 18 years, and receiving benefits such as Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or Employment and Support Allowance. Claims are now made quickly and easily online although it is possible to ask for telephone assistance with this or to request a paper application.

See Assisted Prison Visits for more information or to apply. https://www.gov.uk/help-with-prison-visits

Contact by email, letter or card

Information about emailing, sending cards or letters to and sent from a prisoner.

Emailing a prisoner

The prison subscribes to the scheme whereby members of the public can send emails via a secure third party.

These are then printed in the prison and handed to the prisoner as mail.

This facility is widely advertised within the prison and the visitors centre. Families can also send blank forms which residents can write on and be emailed back in response. Further to this, friends and family members are able to subscribe to this service via the internet.

Each prisoner is allowed to send unlimited letters, with one letter each week at the expense of the prison.

Following approval by a Unit Manager, more than one letter per week may be sent at the expense of Sodexo if justified by the prisoner’s circumstances.

Prisoners are provided with a pen, writing paper and an envelope.

Letters sent into the prison for prisoners will be photocopied and the prisoner will receive the photocopy, not the original, except R39 mail.

All cards that are sent in directly from families/friends will not be photocopied but placed into the prisoner’s stored property. If families and friends wish to send in cards, they must do so directly from either Moon Pig or Funky Pigeon . If we receive a Moon Pig or Funky Pigeon card from a family or friends address, it will be placed into the prisoners stored property.

Visitor centre facilities

Refreshments are available in the Visits Hall. However these refreshements must be purchased in advance in the Visitors Centre. You will be provided with a receipt, to take into the Visits Hall and can be exchanged for your purchased items, which will be delivered to your table by a Red Band prisoner.

Please be conscious there is limited stock available, so order your refreshments early to avoid dissapointment.
