Background
I want the government to allow conjugal visits because they help inmates keep family bonds, support mental well-being, encourage good behavior, and improve rehabilitation. Strong relationships reduce stress, strengthen stability after release, and lower reoffending. This respects dignity, creates safer prisons, and supports reintegration and stronger communities.
