No. A spouse does not have access to another inmate's visitor list or visitation records. That information is considered private to the inmate and the facility, and it is not shared with outside parties, regardless of the relationship.

The facility maintains visitation records for security and administrative purposes, but those records are not available to spouses, family members, or anyone else on the outside through a standard request. Even being legally married does not grant access to an inmate's personal records including who has visited them.

If you have a specific concern about who is visiting your husband, the only channel available to you is a direct conversation with him. The facility will not provide that information to you.
