Ohio inmates get to have conjugal visits
The Issue
I believe the inmates in the federal court systems in Ohio should be allowed to engage in conjugal visits. But I’m order to be allowed to participate the inmate would be required to be of certain ranking within the prison .
I think that a conjugal visit maybe once or twice a month would benefit a lot of couples and families and would inspire inmates to do better within the prison system in order to be able to receive these privileges.
im convinced that allowing these visits will overall change the behavior of some inmates and will result in less sexual assault within the prison system and less violence among the inmates and this will be a great way to give the inmates something to work towards.
i think Ohio should join the few states who allow the inmates to have conjugal visits or atleast give it a test run to see the outcome . I feel like a lot of good could come from this. I also feel like a lot of people will have less violent outbreaks because they won’t feel as disconnected from the outside world . I don’t feel as much bad would come from this change as would good . Maybe something they should look into and maybe just see what could happen . Could save a lot of families from falling apart while one of the parents are serving time
my boyfriend is serving a 5 year sentence he has already served a year and a half and has 3 1/2 years left but could get out in 2 1/2 On good behavior and everytime I go to visit him it sucks being an adult and being told ur only allowed to hug your significant other for 2 seconds and can only be intimate Over the phone while another adult listens to your conversation
