I wanted to gauge the boards opinion on conjugal visits. The USA and UK have the strictest government policies and completely outlaw conjugal visits at a federal/national level. I think that for convicted criminals within prison, enforced celibacy and separation from spouses and co-habitants can only contribute mental health issues that can contribute to re-offending.
There is a trend amongst sexual criminals (arguably the worst crime considering the victim survives the crime) that fit the archetype of sexually repressed loners and these causes must be factors in their criminal activity. I am suggesting that a similar mechanism may contribute to criminal activity in general increasing the likelihood of prisoners to re-offend.
It is uneasy to consider that those being punished should be given the liberty to engage in conjugal visits but I believe it is a serious issue worthy of discussion.
