Family Visiting Restoration

We, the undersigned, agree that it is cruel and unusual punishment for all children and family members of the incarcerated to be denied family visits based on political reasons. Prior to 1995 all families were allowed to spend quality time with their incarcerated loved ones. Eligibility to the family visiting program should be based on each individual's current behavior and prior records of any incidends during participation in this program. The safety and security of each institution would benefit by providing this incentive for good behavior, while encouraging families to continue their bond. California Families are worth saving!
