And visits with family can be very rare. We can only imagine how happy they are to have a visitor. The women will tell you the rules for visitations. Most are very comfortable. Most, if not all, are held in lunch rooms and cafeteria's where food and drink can be bought.
Children are welcome, and some have games for the visitors and adults to play.
One further note on visiting. I have always left it up to the women I have written to accept a visit from me. But I have made it clear to them that I wanted to see them, and I did not care if their shoes were old, etc. Most women will come around and welcome a visit, and not let their situation hinder a wonder experience. If you write a woman who is incarcerated, and stand by her, send her Holiday cards, etc.
