Bring back conjugal visits in nebraska

Although conjugal programs are still used as an incentive for good behavior, they are no longer applied as a means to increase work productivity. Today, the conjugal visit program is designed primarily to preserve family bonds. The idea is that supporting these bonds will strengthen the inmate's chances for rehabilitation and lessen rates of recidivism. Thus, most Extended Family Visit programs are limited to inmates and spouses who were legally married prior to incarceration.
I want to see less video visits and more human contact
For the visiting family, video visitation fees can be expensive and the medium feels impersonal. Advocates for through-the-glass visitation and in-person visitation options feel that video visitation is less intimate – with a severe lack of eye contact between the speaking individuals. Video visitation makes it more difficult for families to evaluate the status and well-being of the incarcerated due to the poor quality and pixilated images on the screen.

Additionally, video visitation doesn’t account for any visitation privacy. Most of the screens are located in terminals in the middle of correctional facility day-rooms or on institutionally issued tablets used in the housing areas. Neither option provides for visitation privacy which can completely alter the dynamics of a visit between an incarcerated individual and their family or loved ones.

The cameras on the inmate visiting terminals are not mounted where the outside viewing party can see the inmate’s eyes. Complaints from families repeatedly remark of the impersonal nature of visits because they cannot look their incarcerated loved one in the eyes.

Unfortunately, the systems are also said to be fragile, prone to breakdown and expensive to repair.
