How long could your relationship last without a kiss? With more than one kiss? could you last a year Two? what about ten Twenty? In prison, couples are forced to keep their relationships alive in visiting rooms with 2-second hugs. One two. Let it go. So they write letters and make phone calls. Many separate.
But there is another possibility. If you are married or living in a domestic partnership, you may be entitled to a so-called family visit, also known as a spousal visit or an insider visit. This means that a couple in prison can be together, alone or with their children for longer visits. You can have privacy and have sex.
Can we do PDA while visiting inmates?
Affection is severely restricted by specialists. As a rule, you are allowed to shake hands during a contact visit. Contact visits are visits where there are no barriers between you and your prisoner. A quick kiss at the beginning of the visit and one at the end of the visit will probably be allowed.
In case of misconduct, the visit can be canceled and you can discover future visits that are currently not allowed.
Contactless visits
When an inmate is segregated from the general population or has reached a certain detention level, they are generally only permitted contactless visits. In this scenario, an inmate and his or her visitors are separated by a glass partition and are speaking through the partition or using a telephone.
Contactless visiting is exactly what it sounds like, so you must not touch the inmate at any point during the visit. Of course, that means no kissing.
Important information about visits when traveling long-distance
For long-distance travel, check with the establishment, usually the director, if you would like longer visits, e.g. other dates or times than typical visit dates. If possible, contact the prison before you travel to ensure your loved one is still in prison and confirm they are not currently incarcerated. Please note that they may not be able to tell you if your loved one will be transported (due to security reasons). Also, the facility must not be locked when you call; However, be prepared that something happened during your trip that caused the facility to close. Having said that, it’s still good to check before you start your journey.
Some prisons are located in very rural areas and may not have a wide range of hotels. It may seem inconvenient, but try calling your local correctional authority or facility to ask about local accommodations while you visit your loved one. You can also find out about available means of transport that will facilitate your visit. Sometimes it is very difficult to drive after a visit.
