Yes on AB 2709
Dear Governor Galvin Newsom,
We the families of incarcerated inmates stand with AB 2709. We ask that you pass this law to restore, per-mote, and support maintaining healthy family relationships. Researchers in multiple states consistently concluded that visitation, mail, phone, and other forms of contact between incarcerated people and their families have positive impacts for both the incarcerated person and their family, including better health, reduced recidivism, and improvement in childrens school performance. Instead of taking their rights on visitations when a problem occurs aiding in this petition understands that this is a tool in efforts to strengthen public safety through justice reforms and innovation. Looking at the bigger picture, this gives inmates something to hold on to mentally and giving them a chance for living a better life which affects a whole community. It keeps them in touch with reality. It gives perspective on growth, morals, and goals. It gives people a real chance at making a positive difference. Our children are soaking in every aspect of lifestyle giving to them. Please keep in mind we are their biggest supporters/role models. thank you for your time.

Why is this important?
Other people should join this campaign for change because we are for the people. Incarcerated loved ones are getting their visitation limited and or taken from them for petty infractions. Not only does this affect our loved ones but our families as well. This bill will be a great asset into supporting families in reconciliation. Our children need to see how problems get fixed not just the outcome of a bad choice. Our loved ones are facing consequences for their actions however keeping an open door for supporting families in visitation helps motivates a positive mindset for an inmate and the families who are effected by their absences. Don’t let this law go under the radar. Let’s keep the hope in supporting visitations for everyone who’s not provoking harm. Let’s help Inmates/families from getting their visitation taken for non violent infractions. Help Support Bill 2709 and sign this petition!
