Are Conjugal Visits Allowed at Vernon C. Bain Center NY?

No. Vernon C. Bain Center does not permit conjugal visits. The facility operates under the New York City Department of Corrections, and New York City jails do not have a conjugal visit program.

New York State correctional facilities, meaning state prisons rather than city jails, historically had one of the longest-running conjugal visit programs in the country known as the Family Reunion Program. However, that program applies only to New York State prisons, not to New York City Department of Corrections facilities like Vernon C. Bain Center, Rikers Island, or any of the other city-operated jails.

If your husband is eventually transferred to a New York State prison to serve a longer sentence, it would be worth asking about the Family Reunion Program at that point. Eligibility has specific requirements including a clean disciplinary record and offense type restrictions.
