Visits are never long enough. There are never enough visits. The lower the security, the better the visits are. Minimum security visitation is in a very relaxed state and they are at least two hours long. You visit on park bench-style set up. For federal prison, this was as good as it could get.

The worst goes with the higher security facilities where there is no contact and the visits last minutes, not hours. We understand why, it's just a tough way to visit someone you care about.
