In lower security prisons like minimum or low, there is a hug and a kiss when your come in and one when you leave but the contact must remain somewhat out of the sight of the guards. Holding hands under the table will be okay, nothing more than that. The higher the security, the more likely there will be a piece of Plexiglas between you.
