prison visits
Seeing confined relatives
Prison visits are scheduled meetings between inmates and approved visitors—typically family members, friends, or legal counsel.
Facilities regulate these encounters with strict rules about duration, physical contact, and permitted items.
A contact visit allows limited touching; a non-contact visit separates parties by glass or screen.
