Hi Anita,
I am sorry you inform you that there is no straight bus to the Dongguan Prison from Guangzhou Canton Hotel. If you wish to rent a mini van, here is a website for your reference:
http://corporate.1hai.cn/english/
http://www.zuche.com/cms5root/pages/English/index_eng.html
The distance between Canton Hotel and Dongguan Prison is about 80 KM, it takes about 1.5 hours to get there by private vehicle. You need to bring your passport, China Visa and other essential documents there on appointed date, otherwise you won't be able to get the permit inside. You can visit the website of the Ministry of Public Security of PRC to find detailed information if you can read Chinese (it did not provide an English version): http://www.mps.gov.cn
Hope it helps.
Wish you a nice day!
