Re: kids visiting parent in prison
The prisoner's best option is to bring an action to have the Family Court address this issue.
Some judges will take the position that taking a child to a prison is not in the child's best interest, but others may disagree.
I believe that the type of prison (minimum vs. maximum security), location, and crime committed will also come into play.
