m. Visitors may be approved for placement on only one inmate’s visiting list unless there are additional incarcerated immediate family members and the relationships can be substantiated. In the event that sibling inmates are incarcerated at the same facility, immediate family members may visit those inmates at the same time at the discretion of the Warden/Superintendent.
n. Additions or substitutions to the approved list shall be made at least quarterly by the same application and approval system cited above. Applications received seeking approval to visit an inmate, who is not yet eligible for a change to his/her list, shall be placed in the inmate’s visitation file with an explanation note regarding the eligibility date for re-submission. A copy of the explanation note shall be given to the inmate who then should notify the applicant. Applications shall be updated every two years (24 months).

C. Guidelines for inmates under conviction for sex-related offenses against children:
1. An offender with a current or previous conviction for a crime involving a sexual offense against a minor is restricted from having contact visits with children under the age of 18, except under the guidelines set forth in a duly signed and witnessed Contact Visitation with Minors Agreement, CR-3619. 2. The Warden/Superintendent/designee will ensure that this form is executed for all inmates with these types of convictions, regardless of the date they entered TDOC custody. The form will be completed as a part of the classification process.
3. Inmates who refuse to sign CR-3619 shall be restricted to non-contact visits with children.
4. Any observed or reported contact of a sexual nature with a child by an inmate shall be immediately reported by the Warden/Superintendent/designee to the local Department of Children’s Services, and Child Protective Services Division.

D. File 1. All application files received from visitor applicants shall be maintained in the visitation file, clearly marked approved or disapproved with the signatures of the Warden/Superintendent/designee. 2. All visitation files shall subsequently be transferred as a part of the inmate's institutional record whenever the inmate is assigned to a different institution. (See Policy #403.01.1) The receiving Warden/Superintendent shall contact the sending Warden/Superintendent if visitation files have not been received within 15 days. If these files have not been received within 30 days, the receiving Warden/Superintendent shall notify the Assistant Commissioner of Prisons via electronic mail. 3. Each institution shall maintain a record of the names of all visitors admitted to the institution to visit inmates. This record will be maintained in a bound logbook separate from the inmate’s visitation file and shall remain at the institution where visit occurred. The logbook will be maintained for a period of three years. Visitor arrivals and departures shall be entered into TOMIS conversation (LIMM) Visitor History.
E. Schedule
1. The Warden/Superintendent shall establish a routine schedule of visiting which shall include Saturdays, Sundays, and the following holidays that are recognized as being state holidays:

b. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
c. President’s Day
d. Good Friday
e. Memorial Day
f. Independence Day
g. Labor Day
h. Thanksgiving Day *
i. Christmas Day *
*Visitation on additional days accompanying Thanksgiving/Christmas Day will be determined by the Commissioner.
2. A schedule of state holidays shall be posted on a bulletin board that is accessible to visitors. 3. The visitation schedule shall also include one evening per week to allow visiting privileges for those inmates unable to visit on weekends. This should not be construed as allowing a visitor to visit both on the regularly scheduled weekend/holiday schedule and the evening visitation. Institutional space and personnel resources and schedule should be the only reasons to limit the number of visitors or length of visits. The Warden/Superintendent, or designee, may approve other times for visitation due to unusual circumstances. Hours of visits should not interfere with the inmate’s work, education, or vocational training schedules.
4. The Warden/Superintendent or designee may approve the following types of special visits for persons on or not on the inmate’s approved list. If absolutely necessary, they may be approved for hours other than those regularly scheduled for visitation. Approved/disapproved special visiting requests will be placed in the inmate's visitation file.
a. Visitors who have traveled 200 miles or more and/or do not visit on a regular basis (at the Warden’s/Superintendent’s discretion)
b. Children, as part of a special program to promote family bonding
c. Attorneys (See Policy #105.09). Privately managed facilities shall refer to their corporate policy regarding attorneys.
d. Prospective employers, sponsors, or parole advisors e. Physicians, psychiatrists, or other health professionals (See Policy #113.30)
f. Persons significant to the inmate for purposes of crisis intervention
g. Official visitors
5. The visitation schedule for segregated inmates should accommodate the number of visitors, length, and frequency of visits mandated by Policy #506.16.
6. Inmates assigned to restrictive housing units may be allowed visits at the Warden’s/Superintendent’s discretion. These inmates may visit in an area within the unit or may visit as scheduled with the general population. Institutional policy or procedures shall also establish visitation guidelines for protective custody inmates.
7. During an institutional emergency, visitation may be canceled as deemed appropriate by the Warden/Superintendent.
F. Security
1. Inmates in the regular visiting gallery shall be allowed brief physical contact (i.e., holding hands, kissing, and embracing) at the beginning and end of visitation.
2. The TDOC recognizes the value of family bonding in regards to the development of children (especially toddlers and infants). Visitation rules of each facility should therefore make reasonable allowances for some physical contact between parents and toddlers and infants. This allowance would apply to the natural or adoptive parent who has legal rights as a parent of a visiting infant or toddler. All visitors should expect that consideration for security may at times require that physical contact between parents and child be limited.
3. Visitors shall not enter any areas of the institution except for approved visitation areas and approved routes to and from those areas.
4. All visitors shall be searched as specified in Policy #506.06.
5. If contraband is found in the possession of a visitor, the contraband shall be confiscated and the visitor may be detained for law enforcement officials. These visitors shall be subject to possible felony prosecution as per TCA 39-16-201. If the visitor refuses to be detained, force should not be used to accomplish this. Vital information such as name, address, phone number, automobile make and model, description, license plate number and state of issue should be documented and provided to law enforcement officials. An incident report shall be submitted. (See Policy #103.02)
G. Denial, Termination, and Suspension of Visits
1. Any visitor may be denied entrance to the visiting area for any reason including, but not limited to:

2. Visits may only be terminated by the shift supervisor upon recommendation by the officer in charge of the visiting area; however, less restrictive measures are encouraged, such as warning the inmate and/or the visitor(s). Examples of reasons for warnings or termination include, but are not limited to:
a. Inmates or visitors who violate visitation conduct rules
b. Failure by visitors to control their children
3. Whenever a visit is denied or terminated, a detailed written report, including the name of the employee who witnessed the violation, shall be prepared by the official taking the action. A copy of the report shall be forwarded to the Warden/Superintendent, who will determine whether the action is warranted.
4. Other than as specified in Policy #502.01, only the Warden/Superintendent can suspend visitation privileges. In addition to suspending a visitor involved in misconduct, the Warden/Superintendent may have cause to suspend all visitors from an inmate’s list if it is believed there may be risk to the institution’s security or to the safety of individuals. When such action is taken, the Warden/Superintendent shall provide written justification for the record and provide notice to the individuals suspended. Such notice may be limited to protect the security of the institution or safety of individuals. An action of total suspension shall be reviewed within six months to determine when and who among the visitors may be reinstated. Visiting privileges may be suspended in accordance within the timeframes listed below for any reason, including, but not limited to, the following:

a. Attempting to introduce controlled substances or firearms into the institution, including concealment of weapons or controlled substances, in such a manner in the visitor’s vehicle that gives an indication of a possible attempt to introduce the contraband into the facility. Mitigating circumstances, such as traces of a controlled substance found in a vehicle in such manner not appearing to be concealed, may warrant a lesser visitation suspension penalty.
b. A visitor, who is arrested, shall be suspended pending disposition of the case which may include any conviction, disposition, e.g., incarceration, probation, or parole. Reinstatement of privileges will require submission of a new application.
c. Visitor(s) who exhibit behaviors and actions, which, in the Warden’s/Superintendent’s opinion, could jeopardize the security of the institution
6. In all instances where inmates test positive for and/or are in possession of illegal drugs, or refuse to comply with a request for a drug screen, in addition to appropriate disciplinary actions, the Warden/Superintendent shall modify the inmate’s visits, with the exception of ministers and attorneys, according to the following:
a. First Offense - Visits shall be suspended for three months.
b. Subsequent Offenses - Visits shall be suspended for additional three-month periods.
c. Following a period of visitation restriction of 12 months, inmates who continue to violate rules regarding substance abuse and risk lengthy visitation restrictions shall be given consideration by the Warden/Superintendent for limited and restricted visits by one or two members of the immediate family (or significant friend in the absence of immediate family) who may be instrumental in convincing the inmate to seek help and to comply with substance abuse regulations. These procedures shall be incorporated into the facility’s visitation policy.
d. The penalty may also be considered for reduction if the inmate successfully completes substance abuse programming.
7. In all instances where an inmate’s visits are suspended for any reason, such as drug conviction, sexual misconduct, etc., Visitation (LIMM) shall be modified to reflect this action. The reason for the suspension will be properly coded on the Visitation (LIMM) “Offender Concerns” screen and the beginning and ending dates will also be entered. This will be completed for each approved visitor on the list. Should the suspension reason be associated with a specific incident, the incident number will also be entered.
8. Copies of written notices to inmates and visitors, in all cases of visitation suspension, shall be placed in the inmates’ visitation files
