The Division of Prisons asks that all visitors wear appropriate clothing that is not disruptive, offensive, or poses a security risk. All visitors and any other persons who enter a prison facility for any purpose may be subject to a routine search of their person or personal items upon entering or leaving the prison facility or at any time while at the prison facility.
Dogs may be used to search vehicles, property and persons. Citizens or visitors may refuse to be searched; however, entry into the prison facility will be denied and visiting privileges may be permanently suspended. Inmates are searched before and after each visit.
What items can be brought in at visitation? For security reasons, items that can be brought into the prison facility during visitation are limited. Weapons, alcohol and drugs are illegal on prison property. Items prohibited by prison policy are not allowed and are considered contraband. It is a felony for anyone to deliver illegal drugs to an inmate or to bring any amount of illegal drugs onto prison property.

Prior approval can be obtained by calling or writing the prison superintendent in advance of the desired visiting day. Inmate family and friends traveling from out-of-state should contact the prison superintendent in advance to schedule a special visit. Are visits allowed for inmates who are hospitalized? Immediate family members who are approved visitors may visit if an inmate is hospitalized in prison or at a community hospital.
Immediate family is defined as father, mother, husband, wife, child, sister, brother, foster parents or other persons who have acted in the place of parents where such relationship can be verified. Because the hospitalized inmate is not a part of the regular population, it will be considered a special visit and will have to be arranged in advance. When and if an inmate is determined to be critically ill or terminally ill, family members are usually notified and special visits can usually be made.
If an inmate is hospitalized in a community hospital, all information about the medical status of an inmate must be provided through the Department of Correction medical staff. Hospitals, outside providers, and staff who are assigned to remain with the patient are advised in advance that they are not to allow visitation or provide information about the status of an inmate who is under their care.
For procedures and approval for a special visit, contact the prison facility where the inmate is assigned.
Special conditions of confinement are defined as maximum control, death row, intensive control, administrative segregation, protective control, disciplinary segregation, pretrial safekeepers, and high security maximum control. Visiting schedules are arranged by appointment only. No visits will be allowed on legal state holidays. Visits will be limited to one hour per visit. The officer-in-charge at the facility may change the visiting day, time, and number of visits, or may suspend the visit.
Those inmates in administrative or disciplinary segregation, maximum control, intensive control, high security maximum control, pretrial safekeepers, and on death row will normally visit in the non-contact visiting area, which means there is no physical contact during the visit. Those inmates on protective control will generally be allowed contact visiting privileges in visiting areas where possible. What physical contact is allowed during a visit? Physical contact during any visitation is limited.
While it is understandable it may be very difficult not to have physical contact with your family member or friend, the amount and type of contact must be limited. Inappropriate displays of affection or sexual activity are not allowed. If an individual does not follow the rules, the visit may be terminated and visitation privileges may be suspended.

Form DC When a parent goes to prison, children are often confused and feel left out. Some feelings the children might have are loneliness, fear, anger, sadness, and guilt. Their friends may also make fun of them.
Children need to have an adult to talk to about their feelings. They may act out these feelings in ways such as a poor grade in school, fighting, a lot of crying, having bad dreams, or stop participating in social activities.
Children may develop physical changes such as complaining of headaches, illnesses, or injuries. These changes in behavior are cries for help and they need encouragement and support. Every child is unique, each family is different and each child within a family is different.
It is scarier for them not to know. Respond to the feeling the child expresses. It is important not to tell the child what they should be feeling and not force them to talk about it. For example, some children may feel better knowing that their parent is no longer in danger because they are not on the streets. Answer their questions honestly. If at all possible, www. Pasadena, CA www. Pasadena CA www. Box Norris, MT www. The Division of Prisons recognizes that families would like their relative in prison to be housed closer to home.

Can an inmate request to get married? Marriage requests are reviewed and approved by the prison facility superintendent. All Division of Prisons requirements and legal requirements must be met to marry.
Both the inmate and fiance must consent to the marriage in writing. If the inmate or fiance has been married before a verified copy of the divorce papers must be submitted. Custody or housing restrictions can make it difficult or impossible to complete the paperwork requirements. The Department of Correction does not assist inmates in meeting the legal requirements. Facilities will not transport an inmate from the confines of a prison for the purpose of obtaining a marriage license.
When marriage requests are approved, the inmate and fiance can consult with a minister or a religious counselor. For more information contact the chaplain at the prison facility where the inmate is housed. Rules are established and must be followed. The Division of Prisons informs inmates about the rules, disciplinary procedures, and punishments during the admission process.
It is important to closely follow the progress of the inmate and encourage good behavior. How is an individual charged with a rule violation?

When the charges are presented to the inmate, the inmate may voluntarily offer a plea of guilty and accept the punishment or plead not guilty and appear before a Disciplinary Hearing Officer DHO. The DHO is a Department of Correction employee from outside the prison who will review all of the evidence and determine guilt or innocence. If the inmate is found not guilty, the violation will be dismissed. If the inmate is found guilty, the DHO will determine the appropriate punishment according to policy.
If the inmate pleads not guilty but is found guilty by the DHO, the inmate may appeal the decision to the Director of Prisons. The Director of Prisons or designee will review the records and make a final decision. How can inmates have their concerns addressed?
The Administrative Remedy Procedure, most often known as the Grievance Procedure, provides inmates the opportunity to voice their concerns. A grievance is written by an inmate concerning an action, incident, policy, or condition within the housing facility or within the Division of Prisons. The grievance will be investigated in a timely manner and a written response will be given to the inmate. If the inmate is not satisfied with that response, he or she may appeal the grievance to the facility Superintendent.
The Inmate Grievance Resolution Board will then review the complaint and provide the inmate with an answer to his or her grievance. Why are inmates transferred to different prisons? Inmates in the Division of Prisons may transfer from one prison location to another for a number of reasons.

A list of items allowed may be available at the prison where the inmate is housed. Unauthorized items or excessive amounts of personal items are considered contraband and may be taken from the inmate. These items may be mailed home or be discarded.
