The advice you've been given is incorrect. The rule is that they do not allow felons into visitation, but there are exceptions to this rule. You must petition the warden BEFORE filling out an application. You should call the warden's office and speak to the secretary. Ask in the most humber manner possible, to provide you with instructions on how to get permission from the warden to see your boyfriend. During this conversation, make sure to be forthright and honest about your previous issues. Do not leave out anything, they will run a NCIC report and it'll all be there anyway. If your crime was not affiliated to this inmate in anyway, your chances of getting special permission are pretty good.
