(Arriving at Blegdamsvejens Prison and Politigaardens Prison go to the main gate.)

There you must fill in a pass form, which you must keep during the entire visit, and return after the visit.

Then you will be shown into the waiting room.

Any effects that visitors wish to bring for an inmate will be searched upon arrival at the visitor´s centre. Ex: Food items must be unwrapped and placed on the red tray next to the entrance. Link: Permitted items

The visitor will also be asked to pass through a metal detector. The staff may also search the visitor's outer garments if it is necessary. The visit wil be cancelled, if a visitor refuses to be searched.

A visiting room will then be allocated to the visitor, and the inmate brought in by prison personnel. Most visits are unsupervised, but the prison retains the right to supervise visits if deemed necessary.
