What does the phrase "offers no provision" mean?

The Wikipedia page for Hart Island says that

The only access to Hart Island is by ferryboat. Hart Island and the pier on Fordham Street on City Island are restricted areas under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Correction. Family members who wish to visit the island must request a visit ahead of time with the Department of Correction. New York City's government offers no provisions for individuals who want to visit Hart Island without contacting the prison system.

I'm not sure what the phrase "offers no provision" means in this context. Offers no assistance? Offers no protection? Will arrest? Oxford defines "provision" as

financial or other arrangements for future eventualities or requirements

So does that mean assistance? Meaning, if I try to get to the island myself without contacting the prison system, I technically can but the DOC will not help me? Or is there another definition that would result in my arrest?


An item of goods or supplies, especially food, obtained for future use―this is the primary meaning. However Wiktionary also says that it may also mean "the act of providing, or making previous preparation."

The Wikipedia page for Hart Island uses the second meaning as hereinabove.
