Background
We think it would give prisoners an incentive to behave. It would allow prisoners who are doing life or a substantial amount of time to be intimate with husband or wife.
Sex may help reduce stress and anxiety and releases endorphins which in turn may help make happier prisoners. We think this would also give the prisoners something to stay on the straight and narrow for.
