Until recently, prison officials thought little importance of visitation. Studies have shown that visitation gives inmates closer ties to the community and others, and leads to an increased chance of successful rehabilitation. One of the problems facing all correctional institutions is the stigma associated with visiting an inmate. When people think of visiting a prison, they often feel discouraged or even overwhelmed at how to go about doing it.
An important part of the rehabilitation process is for inmate's to keep their personal friendships and relationships healthy through communication.
