Frequently asked questions

What is Prison Video Link?
PVL is the HMPPS-operated secure video platform for prison-based remote conferences. Used for solicitor-client legal visits, probation prison interviews, Parole Board preparation, and adjudications.
Is PVL as confidential as an in-person legal visit?
Yes โ€” HMPPS PVL is configured to preserve solicitor-client privilege. NRPSI confidentiality code applies identically.
What about high-security (Cat A) estates?
Yes โ€” CTC clearance to 2030 enables high-security work including HMP Long Lartin.
What if the PVL link fails?
Backup is a three-way telephone conference. I maintain a separate phone line ready throughout every PVL booking.
