An Act to build restorative family and community connection

Summary

The bill amends state law to forbid prisons, jails, or houses of correction from prohibiting or unreasonably limiting face‑to‑face visits, guaranteeing at least two in‑person visitation opportunities per week. It allows up to 20 eligible visitors per inmate, permits visitors to see multiple incarcerated persons unless a security threat is documented, and requires written explanations for any denial that can be legally challenged. Video or electronic communication may be used only as a supplement, and temporary suspensions remain allowed for misconduct or emergencies.
