SIGNFICANT OTHERS VISITING OTHERS INMATES: SEX AND RELATIONAL DIFFERENCES

ABSTRACT Prison visitation programs provide correctional administrators with low-cost programs that facilitate inmate-community contacts, and are related with increased rates of successful re-entry. Previous research has addressed structural barriers to successful programs, but few have addressed the experiences of visitors. Drawing on data from 372 visitors to a medium security men's prison the present study assesses the experiences of visitors, with special attention to women visiting significant others. Results show that significant others are not significantly different from other visitors in terms of frequency of visitation. Significant others do present a different profile and experience the visitation environment less positively than other categories of visitors.
