Prison visitation

Prison visitation, in which someone held in prison is allowed to meet non-prisoners, is allowed in many jurisdictions, although rules differ by jurisdiction[1] and it may be considered either a privilege or a right.[2] Studies have evaluated its effect on recidivism.[3][4][5][6] In person visitation is often used by attorneys to protect legal professional privilege.[7]
