Legal Deadline:

None

Abstract:

Under the current provisions for searching and detaining or arresting persons other than inmates, the Warden may restrict visiting to controlled situations or to more closely supervised visits when there is any suspicion that the visitor is introducing or attempting to introduce contraband, or when there has been a prior incident of such introduction or attempted introduction, or when there is any concern, based upon sound correctional judgment, about the visitor presenting a risk to the orderly running of the visiting room or area. When a controlled or closely supervised visit is not possible, the Warden may deny visiting privileges. The Bureau is proposing to replace the graduated imposition of sanctions with a more flexible response. A visitor who presents a risk to the orderly running of the visiting room or area could be denied visiting privileges regardless of the feasibility of providing a controlled or closely supervised visit.
