conjugal visits
Inmate spouse meetings
Conjugal visits are private meetings between prisoners and their spouses, typically allowing sexual intimacy.
The practice aims to maintain family bonds during incarceration, though relatively few prison systems permit them.
The term sometimes appears more broadly for any intimate visit: The deployment felt like prison—he counted the days until his next conjugal visit home.
