12. Religion
My religious beliefs and practices will be respected while I’m in custody.
Secure accommodation can differ, but in many you have the right to meet with the chaplain if you want to. They can help you practise your faith and beliefs. They can also support you if you’re feeling sad, even if you’re not religious.
You can spend time worshiping or meditating in a dedicated space outside your room. This will be supervised.
You can ask if you need to worship or meditate at specific times of the day so your timetable can allow for this.
You will be able to celebrate religious holidays. If you need special religious items, like clothes or headwear, they will be provided.
You can talk to the chaplaincy team or visiting chaplain before you leave custody if you want to.
