POLICY STATEMENT

Prisoners in Correctional Facilities Administration (CFA) facilities including the Detroit Reentry Center may receive visits from family members and members of the public, subject to restrictions to maintain order and security.

POLICY: DEFINITIONS

A. Emancipated Minor - A minor who is married, on active duty with the armed forces of the United States, or for whom a court has issued an order of emancipation.
B. Immediate Family Member - A grandparent, parent, stepparent, spouse, mother-in-law, father-in-law, child, step-child, grandchild, sibling (this includes minor sibling), step-brother, step-sister (this includes minor step-brother and step-sister), half-brother, and half-sister (this includes minor half-brother and half-sister). An aunt and uncle may be included if adequate verification is provided that they served as a surrogate parent.
C. Qualified Clergy - Leaders of a religious organization or entity such as a church, mosque or synagogue, or persons who have been granted clergy status by a recognized religion and have ecclesiastical endorsement from a religious authority. This does not include anyone who is self-ordained or designated as clergy by a prisoner.

GENERAL INFORMATION

D. Prisoners are required to wear state-issued shirts/blouses, trousers, and shoes on a visit.
E. This policy does not apply to prisoners in the Special Alternative Incarceration Program (SAI). Visits for prisoners in SAI shall be as set forth in PD 05.01.142 “Special Alternative Incarceration Program.

VISITOR TRACKING SYSTEM

F. CFA shall maintain a computerized visitor tracking system to track and control the prisoner visiting process, including identifying persons approved to visit and on visit restrictions. The CFA Deputy Director shall establish standards for its use.
G. Each facility shall maintain a manual visitor tracking system to be used if the computerized system is inoperable.

APPROVED VISITOR LIST

H. Except as set forth in Paragraphs N and O, a prisoner shall only be allowed to visit with those persons who have been approved for placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List. The prisoner shall complete a Visitor List (CAJ-334) identifying those immediate family members and not more than ten others from whom s/he would like to receive visits. The prisoner shall submit the completed form to designated housing unit staff. Only those persons identified on the prisoners list shall be considered for approval to visit. The prisoner shall be allowed to add or delete names of immediate family members from the list at any time. The prisoner shall be allowed to add or delete other names only once every six months.
I. The MDOC Visiting Application (CAJ-103) shall be made readily available to prisoners and proposed visitors at each facility and shall be available on the Departments website. Each person named on the Visitor List who wants to visit the prisoner must complete the MDOC Visiting Application and submit it to the facility where the prisoner is housed. The form must be received sufficiently prior to the visit to allow for necessary review, approval, and placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List by facility staff.
J. Upon receipt of a properly completed Visitor List and MDOC Visiting Application, facility staff shall determine if the proposed visitor is eligible for placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List. This includes attempting to confirm the relationship of those identified by a prisoner as being immediate family members by reviewing the prisoners file. If there is inadequate documentation in the file to confirm the relationship, the prisoner or family member shall be required to provide the documentation necessary to adequately confirm the relationship.
K. A proposed visitor shall be approved for placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List if all of the following criteria are met:

1. The proposed visitor is not subject to a current visitor restriction.
2. The proposed visitor is not a former prisoner in any jurisdiction. However, a prisoner or former prisoner who is an immediate family member may be placed on the prisoners approved Visitor List with prior approval of the Warden of the facility where the visit will occur.
3. The proposed visitor is not on parole or probation in any jurisdiction as a result of a felony conviction. However, a parolee or probationer who is an immediate family member may be placed on the prisoners approved Visitor List with prior approval of the Warden of the facility where the visit will occur and written approval of the supervising field agent.
4. The person is 18 years of age or older, an emancipated minor, or the child, step-child, grandchild, sibling (this includes minor sibling), step-brother, step-sister (this includes minor step-brother and step-sister), half-brother, and half-sister (this includes minor half-brother and half-sister). However, a minor shall not be approved for placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List under any of the following circumstances:
a. The Department is notified that there is a court order prohibiting visits between the child and prisoner;
b. The Department is notified that the parental rights of the prisoner for the child have been terminated;
c. The prisoner has been convicted of child abuse/neglect, criminal sexual conduct, or any other assaultive or violent behavior against the child or sibling of the child unless an exception has been granted by the Director upon request of the Warden. The Warden will be notified in writing if an exception is granted.
5. The proposed visitor is not on another prisoners approved Visitor List except as an immediate family member. In other words, a visitor may be on the list of all prisoners who are immediate family members, but only on the list of one prisoner who is not an immediate family member.
6. If the proposed visitor is a Department employee, s/he may visit only as set forth in the Employee Handbook.
7. If the proposed visitor is a volunteer, s/he may visit only as set forth in PD 03.02.105 "Volunteer Services and Programs."

L. Notwithstanding Paragraph K, the Warden may deny placement of anyone on a prisoners approved Visitor List for the safety or security of the facility, protection of the public, previous violations of visiting room rules by the proposed visitor, or for other reasonable cause as determined by the Warden. Wardens shall advise the appropriate Assistant Deputy Director (ADD) in writing whenever a person is denied placement on a prisoners approved visitors list pursuant to this paragraph and shall include the basis for the denial.
M. A proposed visitor who is denied placement on a prisoners approved Visitor List shall be provided with a copy of the denied MDOC Visiting Application, which shall include the reason for the denial. The prisoner also shall be advised in writing of the reason for the denial. A proposed visitor may submit a written request for reconsideration of a denial to the Warden. A proposed visitor who is approved for placement on a prisoners approved Visitor List who included a self-addressed stamped envelope with his/her MDOC Visiting Application also shall be provided a copy of the approved MDOC Visiting Application.
N. The Warden may allow a special one-time visit between a prisoner and a person (adult or minor) who is not on the prisoners approved Visitor List if the Warden determines that it is in the best interest of the prisoner and is not a threat to the good order and security of the facility. A visitor may be allowed only one such visit with a prisoner. Subsequent visits with the same prisoner by that visitor shall require placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List in accordance with this policy.
O. The following persons shall be allowed to visit a prisoner without being on the prisoners approved Visitor List, except if the person is related to the prisoner by blood or marriage, is on probation or parole in any jurisdiction as a result of a felony conviction, or is a prisoner:

1. Qualified clergy.
2. A volunteer in an outreach program that is sponsored by an external religious organization.
3. An attorney, or representative acting on the attorneys behalf, on official business with the prisoner.
4. An official representative of the legislative, judicial, or executive branch of government, or a consulate general, on official business with the prisoner.
5. A Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), or Friend of the Court employee who is facilitating a visit between the prisoners child and the prisoner.
a. This includes a privately run agency working under contract with DHHS if there is evidence in writing by DHHS.
b. DHHS staff are expected to visit on weekdays during normal facility visiting hours. However, exceptions may be granted by the Warden. Such visits shall not be counted as one of the prisoners regular visits, but shall be recorded in the Visitor Tracking System.

P. The individuals listed in Paragraph O (4) may visit outside of standard visiting hours with prior approval of the Warden or designee. The individuals listed in Paragraph O (1) and (3) may visit outside of standard visiting hours with prior approval of the Warden or designee if extenuating circumstances exist. The following examples of extenuating circumstances are intended to identify the type of situations which may warrant approval for a visit during non-standard visiting hours. These examples do not constitute an exhaustive or all-inclusive list:
1. For attorneys, an imposed deadline such as a filing deadline or a hearing date, which does not allow sufficient time for the attorney to visit the prisoner on a designated visiting day. Circumstances shall be taken into account on a case-by-case basis.
2. For clergy, the death of an immediate family member of the prisoner.
Q. At multi-level facilities accommodations shall be made for attorneys to visit their clients at any custody level during the facilitys scheduled visiting hours (e.g., if an attorneys client is Level IV and the attorney arrives during the visiting hours scheduled for Level II prisoners, accommodation shall be made for the visit to take place, rather than require the attorney to return during the hours scheduled for Level IV prisoners).

REMOVAL FROM APPROVED VISITOR LIST

R. A person approved for placement on a prisoners approved Visitor List shall be removed from the approved Visitor List if s/he sends a written request to the facility at which the prisoner is located. The listed person shall be removed from the prisoners approved Visitor List within five business days after receipt of the request. The prisoner and the listed person shall be notified in writing that the listed person was removed from the prisoners approved Visitor List at his/her request.
S. A person approved for placement on a prisoners approved Visitor List shall be removed from the list if the Department receives reliable information that the visitor is no longer eligible for placement on the prisoners approved Visitor List. Both the prisoner and the visitor shall be notified in writing of the reasons for the removal. The prisoner may appeal the removal through the prisoner grievance process. The visitor may submit a written request for reconsideration to the Warden.

EQUIRED IDENTIFICATION PRIOR TO VISIT

T. Except as set forth in Paragraph U, all visitors shall be required to present a valid pictured driver license, state identification card, military identification card, passport, or other government-issued identification card for identification verification prior to each visit. Visitors who are Amish must provide valid identification as required by the CFA Deputy Director.
U. An original or a certified true copy of a birth certificate, certificate of adoption, or a court order establishing paternity shall be required for identification verification prior to each visit for a visitor under the age of 18 who does not have valid pictured identification to present. The Warden, however, may allow a female prisoner to visit with her child born during her incarceration prior to the receipt of the childs birth certificate.
V. In addition to the identification required in Paragraph T, an attorney shall be required to present his/her state bar card, and a representative acting on the attorneys behalf also shall be required to present a letter on official letterhead from the attorney or law firm, to qualify for a visit pursuant to Paragraph O.
W. In addition to the identification required in Paragraph T, a member of the clergy may be required to provide written verification of his/her clergy status upon request of the Warden or designee to qualify for a visit pursuant to Paragraph O.

VISITING ROOM OPERATION

X. The CFA Deputy Director shall establish Department-wide standards for visiting room operation which are consistent with this policy and which shall be enforced at all facilities. The standards shall identify general visiting information that each facility shall make available to visitors in writing in both English and Spanish versions. The standards also shall, at a minimum, address the following:

1. Visiting hours.
2. Number of visits allowed.
3. Number of visitors allowed per visit.
4. Proper attire and conduct of visitors and prisoners during a visit.
5. Property which visitors and prisoners are allowed to bring to a visit.

In addition, a prisoner and his/her visitor are permitted to have their arms around the shoulders of one another and may hold hands. A prisoner who is a parent or grandparent also may appropriately touch and hold his/her child or grandchild if the infant is under two years old and bottle feed the infant while visiting. Corporal punishment of any type is prohibited and shall result in an immediate termination of the visit.
Z. A prisoner shall be allowed to visit only with his/her own visitors. Cross visitation or visiting with another prisoners visitor(s) is prohibited. Except for a brief greeting at the start or end of a visit, conversations with other prisoners or other prisoners visitors are prohibited.
AA. Prisoners and visitors, including children two years of age or older, shall be assigned a specific seat or table in the visiting area.
BB. Prisoners and visitors shall be closely monitored at all times to ensure that contraband is not passed and that inappropriate behavior does not occur. This may include assigning a prisoner a seat or table in the area closest to the officers station to permit continuous monitoring if the prisoner presents a special concern, including if the prisoner is visiting with a child and has a history of criminal sexual conduct or other assaultive or violent offense against a child. However, custodial supervision and control shall be as unobtrusive as possible consistent with custody and security controls. All visitors shall be treated courteously and assisted promptly.
CC. Prisoners and visitors shall be searched in accordance with PD 04.04.110 "Search and Arrest in Correctional Facilities.

HOSPITAL VISITS

The Warden or Deputy Warden shall consult with the Warden or Deputy Warden of the facility at which the prisoner is permanently housed before deciding whether to approve the visit. Approval shall be granted for visits to conduct official business with an attorney or his/her representative and with qualified clergy of the prisoners designated religion or whom the prisoner specifically requests to see, subject to Paragraph O.
EE. Approved visits shall be scheduled by the Warden or Deputy Warden of the facility providing custody coverage at the convenience of staff, prisoners, and visitors, and for a length of time as determined by the Warden. Custodial staff shall be present at all times during the visit.

NON-CONTACT VISITING

FF. Except at RGC, prisoners who are housed in a security Level V facility or housing unit, temporary segregation, punitive segregation (detention), or are classified to administrative segregation shall be limited to non-contact visits, except that a contact visit shall be allowed with an attorney upon request of the attorney subject to Paragraphs O and HH.
GG. The Warden shall limit a prisoner of any security level to non-contact visits for a period of 30 days if the prisoner is found guilty of a Class I misconduct violation of substance abuse for behavior that occurred on or after August 27, 2003, except that a contact visit shall be allowed with an attorney upon request of the attorney subject to Paragraphs O and HH.
HH. The Warden may limit a prisoner of any security level to non-contact visits under the following circumstances:
1. When visiting an immediate family member or an attorney who is subject to a visitor restriction.
2. When a search of a visitor cannot be conducted due to the presence of a cast, prosthetic device, oxygen tank, or any medically required device.
3. When the prisoner is being monitored for suicidal behavior and non-contact visiting is determined by the Warden, after consultation with appropriate health services staff, to be necessary to ensure the prisoners physical safety.

Portable non-contact visiting booths shall not be used if the visitor is subject to a permanent visiting restriction.
JJ. If a hearing officer upholds a visitor restriction for conduct occurring during a non-contact visit, the prisoner and restricted visitor shall not be permitted any visits during the time period of the visitor restriction.

DISALLOWED/TERMINATED VISITS

KK. Visits may be terminated based on visiting room overcrowding.

NN. If the visitor is involved in the conduct for which the visit is terminated or disallowed, the visitor shall not be allowed to visit at that facility for the remainder of that day and may be subject to a 90-day or permanent restriction of visits to all facilities if the requirements in Paragraphs PP through ZZ are met.
