An eligible incarcerated person must put in an application for a family visit with their assigned correctional counselor at the prison. Family visits are further restricted by availability. There are no age restrictions for prospective visitors. Family visits are restricted to immediate family members (parents, children, siblings, legal spouses, registered domestic partners, or who have a bona fide and verified foster relationship) of the incarcerated person. The following individuals are excluded from family visits: Incarcerated persons on Death Row, any incarcerated person with convictions for sex offenses, anyone in the Reception Centers process, or anyone under disciplinary restrictions. Some incarcerated people are eligible for “family visits.” Family visits occur in private, apartment-like facilities on prison grounds and last approximately 30 to 40 hours. Visits for all incarcerated people on Death Row are limited in time (usually one to two hours). All Condemned visits are in a secured booth and involve the incarcerated person being escorted to visiting in handcuffs. “Condemned Grade B” incarcerated people on Death Row may only receive non-contact visits. “Condemned Grade A” incarcerated people on Death Row may receive contact visits (meaning no partition between incarcerated person and his/her visitor) unless their visiting privileges have been restricted for disciplinary or security reasons. Incarcerated people on Death Row, often referred to as “condemned”, are housed either at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County (men) or at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla (women).
Non-contact visits are restricted to three visitors and are limited in time (usually one to two hours, depending on the prison and the reason for the non-contact status of visits). The handcuffs are removed only after the incarcerated person is secured in his/her side of the visiting booth thus, parents who do not wish to have children see the incarcerated person in restraints should wait away from the booth or glass partition until the prisoner is settled. The incarcerated person is escorted in handcuffs by staff to the visit. Non-contact visits occur with a glass partition between the incarcerated person and his/her visitors. Incarcerated people who are still in reception (recently admitted to CDCR or transferred between prisons) or who are segregated (i.e., Administrative Segregation, Security Housing Units, Adjustment Centers, pending specific rules violation report charges, or assigned to Behavior Management Units) are restricted to non-contact visits. In-person visits are limited to five visitors at a time and are not limited in duration except for normal visiting hours or terminations caused by overcrowding. These visits allow the incarcerated person to sit together with their visitor(s) in a designated shared space, usually furnished with tables and chairs. Most incarcerated people in the general population may participate in an in-person visit. Please note that all visiting is dependent on the Department’s Roadmap to Reopening and health and safety factors. See below for information on in-person and family visiting. By 2015, Mississippi and New Mexico had eliminated their programs.All incarcerated people are eligible to receive visits unless they have temporarily lost that privilege due to disciplinary action. By the 2000s, that number was down to 6, with only California, Connecticut, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, and Washington allowing such visits. In 1993, 17 states had conjugal visitation programs. Unfortunately, if you're locked up in Texas, you won't be getting any action behind bars down here. Here are the 4 states left that allow a variation of "conjugal" visits and what they choose to call them. Most choose to use "family time" or "contact visits." In fact - for the most part, states no longer refer to "conjugal" visits.
In spite of the evidence from these studies, most states no longer allow conjugal visits. A number of studies support this common-sense conclusion. According to, prisoners who maintain close ties with spouses, partners, and family members are more likely to successfully reenter society upon release and less likely to commit crimes.
