conjugal visit

Inmate spouse meeting

A conjugal visit is a scheduled period when a prison inmate is permitted private time with their spouse, typically for sexual intimacy.

The practice exists in some prison systems as a way to maintain family bonds: Conjugal visits are allowed once a month.

The term appears in broader contexts for any visit focused on marital relations.
