Family ties...and contact visits, even if just holding hands, are a vital component of recidivism reduction. This is horrible.
-
As someone who had fam in the system those visits mean life and death to us. Shame on the pols that made this evil policy.
-
I have as well, which is why I know how vital actual visits are.

Even a tiny bit of human empathy shld allow one to see how important it is. For the people incarcerated *and* kids, spouse, parents, etc

Sick. Sickening. And sadly, predictable. A for-profit prison system is bound to abuse prisoners. They have no rights.

This is also true in every jail I visited in Wisconsin. No in-person visits; only video. I would love to see a nationwide survey of jails.

This is chilling.

jails in the South aren't much more than debtor's prisons, which are technically illegal. It's a travesty imo. tax the poor & pay the rich

I understand these are prisoners but this is beyond punishing not allowing face to face visits
-
it's torture. No rehabilitation plan would think this is reasonable.
-
That's the point i think. Ever since prisons became corporate for profit orgs well we basically use them to torture people who sold weed.

This makes no sense! Visits help with rehabilitation. Oh right. That’s not the goal.
