Expand Family Communication Resources
Addressed to State Departments of Corrections and Facility Administrators
Staying in contact with family supports rehabilitation and wellbeing, and it helps families navigate a difficult time. Yet basic information about visiting hours, mail rules, and phone or video options is often outdated, inconsistent, or hard to locate.
What this petition asks for:
- Current, published information on visitation scheduling and rules.
- Clear guidance on mail policies and how to comply with them.
- Accurate details about phone and video communication options and costs.
- A single, reliable place where families can find this information.
Reliable communication information is a practical, low-cost way to support families and reduce confusion.
