Visitors under 18 usually need to come with someone considered an adult (although we might agree if you are old to enough to get engaged you should be able to visit your significant other). You might try calling the facility and ask to speak with the case manager, counselor or unit team secretary to get more information

Most newly arriving inmates will have to go through an Orientation program which sets out the rules and expections that all inmates must follow. After this is completely, usually within a week or two, inmates are premitted to set their call list and visitors list. You might try calling the facility as ask to speak with the case manager, counselor or unit team secretary to get more information or exact times.

Here is a link to the visitation times and dates for Manson Youth Institution: http://www.ct.gov/doc/lib/doc/pdf/visit/visitMYI.pdf

If you are certain that the days you have come are days where his unit has visitation. If you are coming on the right day, then most probably he had his visitation privileges suspended for one reason or another. If you are approved but he cannot come to visit, that is what it sounds like to us. You might write him a letter and ask what happened.

It depends on where he is and what the level of custody the facility is. If it is a low-medium-high prison, visitation will most likely not be available in the first week.

Parolees are normally not allowed visitation without permission from the warden. The out date calculation has everything to do with the wording in the Judgement and Commitment document signed by the judge. If there is wording about parole, or work release or nothing at all. If it is a normal state sentence, he will probably have to do 85% of the imposed sentence. That would be about 255 months or 21 1/4 years.

Usually there is a hug and light kiss upon entering and exiting but no touching during the visit. The protocol is standard but there are some visiting room guards that are either less strict or over-the-top strict... be careful not to disrespect the ones that take themselves too seriously.

You might be subject to a strict search (the fear is that you might smuggle something in your hair) but if it's natural and you do not have any ill intention you should not have a problem.

You can visit as long as you are on the normal visitation list and there are no issues with your approval. Special visits are for people that travel a long distance and would like to request more visitation time due to the expense and limitations on the visitor. Most prison staff will approve a special visit if you are coming to the jail from 100 miles away or more.

You will not have to put your newborn on the visitation list, but check with the staff before you go to be sure that you are not bringing something that they will not allow in the facility visitation. Most of the staff will have no problem with your husband holding the baby, just ask them nicely - it's always better to ask permission as it shows them respect.
