If children are unable to visit a family member in prison because of distance, cost, sickness or other difficulties, the solution may be a Video Visit.
Video Visits is a video conferencing program run by SHINE for kids in conjunction with Corrective Services NSW. Video Visits allow inmates and their families and children to see each other on a television screen while talking. The equipment includes a camera, microphone and speakers together with a TV monitor, so that the family can see and hear their family member who is housed in a correctional centre. As many as four adults, plus any number of children, can participate in the one Video Visit.
SHINE for Kids sources local community venue such as library, TAFE or health centre with video conferencing equipment for the family to go to.
