Florida wants to severely restrict prisoners’ visitation hours
ORLANDO, Fla. — Visiting hours to prisoners in Florida are a crucial way they connect with loved ones, but a new rule being proposed by the Florida Department of Corrections could cut those hours in half.
On Wednesday, FDC proposed a set of new modifications to its visiting procedures, including adopting a rotation schedule for prisoners that would limit visitation days to every other weekend at certain correctional institutions deemed necessary by the department.
