UDC visiting policy change

Current UDC visiting policy. 1st disciplinary conviction results in NON CONTACT visits for a period of 4. MONTHS. 2nd disciplinary conviction shall result in NON CONTACT visiting for a period of 1yr. Third or subsequent disciplinary conviction shall result in NON CONTACT visiting for a period of 2 consecutive years! TWO years of NON CONTACT restrictions will be added for each subsequent conviction. Inmates also get punished by being fined, losing their job or a chance to get a job, unable to enroll in classes or VTs, personal property taken away, level decrease. At yet these write ups never fall off,yet they continued to be re punished for disciplinary convictions no matter how many years apart they are from each other. You speak of rehabilitation anytime you are asked about incarcerated individuals. Rehabilitation means the action of restoring someone to former privileged or reputation after a period of disfavor. To help them live a normal life. Yet you continue to punish them by taking away one of the most important things for rehabilitation. FAMILY CONNECTION. Family support has shown decreased rates of recidivism following imprisonment, improved mental health. People who received visits during incarceration, felony re-convictions were 13% lower and revocations for technical violations of parole were 25%fewer compared to people who lack in person family contact. It also seems incarcerated individuals with longer sentences get punished more. Their punishment is the sentence they receive to have to look over their shoulder everyday, and to wonder if today is going to be their last day, their last conversation with a loved one. I ask you to chang your visiting policy.Family is the only support incarcerated individuals have.
