Applications for prison visits are largely divided into two types: same-day applications and reservation applications, and visits and visits are restricted on public holidays (Sundays, national holidays, national commemorative holidays, etc.).
Prison-visit-application-method-information
For general civil servants, visitation/interview time is usually limited to 10 minutes. (There is no separate time limit for meetings with attorneys.)
Criteria for applying for prison visits
The number of prison visits/visits is applied differently depending on whether the inmate has been sentenced and the type/level of imprisonment.
In the case of unconvicted prisoners who are detained before the results of their criminal trials are confirmed, visits and interviews are possible once a day.
In the case of convicts who are detained according to their sentence while the criminal trial has already been confirmed, level 1 is visited and interviewed once a day, level 2 is 6 times a month, level 3 is 5 times a month, and level 4 is 4 times a month. Limited.
In case of labor (a penalty of imprisonment imposed on those who fail to pay fines or fines), visits/interviews are permitted 5 times a month.

How to apply for a prison visit/Visit reception time
Prison visitation reception hours are from 08:30 am to 04:00 pm on weekdays, and on Saturdays, reservations are required. (Same-day reception is not possible on Saturdays, and civil servants who have visited unconvicted prisoners during the week cannot be seen on Saturdays.)
The number of people allowed to meet varies depending on the institution, but is usually limited to 3 to 5 people at a time.
In addition to making a reservation, applications for prison visits can also be made on the same day. To apply on the same day, the applicant must fill out an interview application form and apply at the counter with their ID card.
Reservations can be made through the Correctional Civil Service Call Center at 1363, the Internet (Ministry of Justice Online Civil Service), mobile phone, or in person.
