Not just for intimacy reasons also so children can spend time with both there parents play games do normal activities like we would if we was home together. Also id love to be able to hold my husband again for however long i could.

I like to take this a step farther noting the likelihood of the spouse of an inmate is less likely to stray, less likely to be at risk of disease by finding a new partner. Family visits will tighten bonds with children. There are many benefits to allowing the MAJORITY of prisoners (including lifers) this right. Prisoners convicted of any sex crime such as rape or child molestation should be excluded. Prisoners should also be tested to insure they are free of teansmittable disease prior to this form of contact. The benefits do outweigh the punishment. Spouses and children on the outside are NOT prisoners yet their rights are taken away.

At the same time when someone goes to prison and they leave a wife on the outside it puts tremendous amount of strain on their marriage if they are not able to remain connected on an intimate level. Very few marriages survive when your spouse has a long bid to complete. It also helps relieve stress, tension, and the urge to masterbate. Please, bring conjugal visits back to ALL states.

But denial of a basic human need should never be part of a prisoner's punishment. Physical contact is a primary source of love and should never be denied. It is archaic,medieval sadistic and without any socially redeeming purpose to withhold physical loving contact from another human being. Studies have shown that men especially, who have no loving physical contact exhibit more aggressive and anti-social behavior.Conjugal visits should be the law in every state, territory and protectorate of the United States.

Title 15 Article 7 Section 3177 of the CDCR handbook prohibits inmates that are serving life with the possibility of parole or life sentences to have Family Visits (Overnight Visits) without an established parole date. The vision is to get that changed through a Senate Bill which is in the process of getting drafted now.
The new bill would present Family Visits as being an earned privilege for inmates serving life with the possibility of parole or life sentences. It wouldn’t require them to have a parole hearing date set to be eligible. This Bill DOES NOT include inmates serving life without the possibility of parole, because in the future their Senate Bill will have to be drafted differently.
What you can do now? The first step is to Pass my e-mail information along to anyone who is interested in this cause. So when the bill is drafted by January 1, 2016 I can tell you the next steps so we can be as successful as possible. Make copies of this flyer and please contact me with any questions. I check my email daily. Thanks! Ella Cavazos

Wives, children, that have to suffer as well. Prisons are supposed to rehabilitate but instead our prisoners get everything taken away from them and become institutionalized.

If a grown adult decides that she/he wants to continue a one- sided relationship, with a person in jail, that is their decision, I caution you not to. I stand corrected, when I say that a family should not be broken, because one of the parents go to prison/jail, when in fact that is what happens automatically, and there is nothing that can be done, to mend a relationship with someone whom is barely hallway available. It is not fair to a child, to be taken to prison/jail, receive jailhouse photos/mail, and surely not have a modified visit, under supervision. Please do not take your children to these jails, and do not be fooled, a person in jail, is not capable, of having a "real relationship", everything is stand still, and the person in the free world, IS getting the short end of the stick!
