Personal Contact at Visits

Staff shall permit limited physical contact, such as
handshaking, embracing, and kissing, between an inmate and a
visitor, unless there is clear and convincing evidence that such
contact would jeopardize the safety or security of the
institution. Where contact visiting is provided, handshaking,
embracing, and kissing are ordinarily permitted within the bounds
of good taste and only at the beginning and at the end of the
visit. The staff may limit physical contact to minimize
opportunity for the introduction of contraband and to maintain
the orderly operation of the visiting area.]
