Inmates: visitation.

Summary

The Visitor Protections and Safety Act mandates that every state prison be open for visitation at least three days a week and bans denial of visits based on race, gender, criminal history, or other protected traits. It also limits searches of visitors to voluntary, informed consent and requires less‑intrusive methods, with clear notice and an appeals process. The law aims to protect families—especially women visitors—and improve safety and fairness in the correctional system.
