What are state prisons?
State prisons are state correctional facilities operated by state governments. State prison systems are designed to house inmates who violate state law. A state correctional agency typically helps oversee the incarceration of all inmates within a state prison system.9
Compared to federal prisons, state prisons tend to house more violent offenders or people who have committed more violent crimes. Some crimes that result in prison terms from state agencies are:
Visiting Arizona State Prison Complex-Perryville
Before you can visit Jodi Arias or any other inmate who is incarcerated in Arizona State Prison Complex-Perryville: You must fill out a Visitor Application. You have the option of filling it out online or printing it out on paper and sending it to us.
There is a $25.00 fee that must be submitted with each background request from a visitor. You can pay this fee online through JPay, Global Tel-Link or Keefe. Or you can send a money order or cashier’s check payable to: Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry – Visitation. The note line should include the visitor’s name and inmate’s name and ADC number (Jodi Arias 281129).
Reward vs. Recovery
It is true that many rehab centers schedule time for visits from family members and loved ones, including spouses or romantic partners. The functions of these visits serve a very different purpose than the conjugal visit. Traditionally, spousal visitation was used as a reward system in prisons, where inmates who were well behaved or who were productive workers received a “Sunday visit” from their wives.
Drug rehab is not a prison. Spouse visits serve an important therapeutic purpose in recovery, not just to reward good behavior. This means that in contrast to the highly private nature of spousal visits, rehabilitation visits always have a necessary public aspect, which usually involves the presence or supervision of a therapist or treatment specialist. This is both for the sake of the loved one and for the benefit of the individual in recovery. Having a life partner in rehab is unfamiliar territory for many, and learning how to play a supportive role in the process of what to do and what not to do doesn’t come naturally. Rather, it’s about using the visits as an opportunity to learn from local professionals about the recovery process with your partner.
