Hello
I was asked by a friend to go and visit them in prison (in England). I have a criminal record. It is spent but I was on the SOR. My friend wants my name, mobile number and DOB so I can be added to their 'Visitor List'. Will the prison do a DBS check? Will the convictions show up? And, I changed my name to try and resolve the Google Effect once and for all earlier this year (I lost four jobs as a result), so, if they do a DBS Check how does that work? Apologies if I am asking a question that has already been answered elsewhere, but any advice very welcome.
Thanks
RM

Issue could be is that they may start enquiring into what the link between you is formed by? Not sure if I am, correct but just providing my experience.
When I was in prison, one of my neighbours had a visit from a former cell-mate. If you're not on licence, then there are no general restrictions about visiting when you have convictions, spent or unspent.
