When visiting a inmate is the visit up close face to face or is it on a screen talking on a phone?

It depends on the security classification of the prison/detention center.

It depends on the security classification of the prison/detention center. Some are strict no-contact visitations and others have a picnic-like setting where you can interact and have light contact, even enjoying snacks from a variety of vending machines.
