Visitation

Are we allowed contact visits in prison?

My son may be going there may I get a contact visit with him? Also his girlfriend or baby's momma can she get a contact visit they been together for 6 years but not married have a 3 yr old together.

Contact visits are limited to a "hello" and "goodbye" kiss and hug.

Contact visits are limited to a "hello" and "goodbye" kiss and hug. But, not all facilities have this option during visitation. The security level of the prison will dictate how visitation is conducted.
