Today we will learn about how to apply for prison visits. There is nothing more heartbreaking than having a loved one in prison. Moreover, prison visiting hours are set.
Prison visits help maintain bonds between inmates and their families, and visits provide legal advice and support. We can also provide biblical support through visitation through difficult prison life.
Management of recipients (inmates) of the Ministry of Justice’s online civil service service

Location change meeting
The change-of-location visit is a system of visiting in a location without contact prevention facilities, and its purpose is to promote the stability of the inmate. The only difference is that the visit is usually held in a place other than a reception room with a barrier, but there is no difference in the interview time or number of people allowed.
Unlike general visit reservations, for a visit with a change of location, you must fill out the ‘Application for a visit with a change of location’ detailing the reason for the application and submit it to the civil affairs office of the prison you wish to visit. (You can also apply by email or fax.) At this time, you must also attach supporting documents to support the reason for your application. Clicking ‘Download Location Change Interview Application (Form)’ below will take you directly to the link to download the application form provided by the Corrections Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice.
Once an application for a change of location interview is received, the reason will be reviewed and you will receive a reply regarding the approval result within one week. The interview time lasts less than 30 minutes, but the exact interview time may vary depending on the circumstances of each institution. What is different from regular interviews is that correctional officers participate in the interviews because there are no contact prevention facilities.
Prisoners for whom change of location interviews are restricted include suspects, inmates of gang violence or drug use, prisoners under investigation or punishment, and prisoners of interest. Please note that these inmates are not permitted to receive interviews at a change of location even if an application is submitted.
Information on correctional institutions nationwide
Contact information for correctional facilities across the country and email addresses for requesting a change of location interview can be found on the Ministry of Justice Correctional Headquarters website.
