What is a Conjugal Visit?

Conjugal visits allow incarcerated individuals to spend time with their spouses or partners in a private setting.

Conjugal visits are a type of prison visitation that allows incarcerated individuals to spend time with their spouses or partners in a private setting. Conjugal visits are typically granted to inmates who have been in prison for a long period of time and who have a good disciplinary record.

The purpose of conjugal visits is to allow inmates to maintain close relationships with their loved ones and to provide them with a sense of normalcy and connection to the outside world. Conjugal visits can also help to reduce recidivism by providing inmates with a sense of hope and purpose.

Eligibility for Conjugal Visits

In order to be eligible for conjugal visits, inmates must meet certain criteria. These criteria vary from state to state, but typically include:

• Having been incarcerated for a long period of time (typically at least one year)
• Having a good disciplinary record
• Being in a stable relationship with a spouse or partner
• Having a plan for how the conjugal visit will be conducted

Inmates who are interested in applying for conjugal visits should contact their prison's chaplain or social worker. The chaplain or social worker will be able to provide more information about the application process and the criteria that must be met.
