How many visitations are inmates allowed per week?

In many correctional facilities, the standard allowance for inmate visitations is typically set at two visits per week. This policy is designed to balance the needs for inmate social interaction and support from family or friends while also maintaining security and operational requirements of the facility.

Allowing two visitations strikes a reasonable balance, offering inmates the opportunity to maintain important personal relationships, which can be crucial for their mental health and rehabilitation, without overwhelming the corrections system.

Other options, whether stating fewer or more visitations, may not align with the policies that aim to ensure inmates have adequate access to their loved ones while also ensuring these visits do not interfere with the safe and orderly management of the facility.
