I AS WELL AS OTHER WOMEN, MEN OR CHILDREN HAVE A LOVED ONE THAT IS INCARCERATED AND EVERY WEEK WE TRAVEL MANY MILES TO VISIT THEM SOMETIMES TO ONLY SPEND 15/ 45 MINS. WITH THEM. DEPENDING ON THE PRISON IT CAN BE A FEW HOURS NEVER THE LESS WHEN YOU ARE VISITING YOUR EVERY MOVE IS WATCHED IF YOU STAND UP, IF YOU TOUCH OR EVEN IF YOUR FOOD IS NOT OPENED FOR THE OFFICERS TO SEE COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR VISIT.
THEY DO ALLOW YOU A SHORT HUG OR KISS UPON THE START AND END OF THE VISIT AND NOW IN THE PRISON THAT MY HUSBAND IS IN THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER STOPPING TAKING PICTURES DOING THE VISIT AND THE FOOD PRICE ARE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO IF YOU BOUGHT FOOD YOUR SELF AND PREPARED IT.
MY HUSBAND IS DOING A LONG STRETCH IN PRISON AS MANY OTHERS ARE AND IF THEY WERE ALLOWED TO SPEND AN ADEQUATE YET PRIVATE TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN, WIFE, MOTHER OR SIBLINGS IT WOULD BE ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL IN THIS UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION.
WE, THE FAMILIES OF INCARCERATED WOMEN AND MEN CALL FOR THIS PETITION TO BE SIGNED SIMPLY BECAUSE HUMAN TOUCH IS NEEDED TO SURVIVE, TO PROCREATE, TO ENSURE LOVE AND IF A HUSBAND/WIFE OR CHILD IS ABLE TO HAVE THAT INTIMATE TIME WITH THEIR INCARCERATED LOVED ONE.
IT WOULD GIVE HE/SHE THE INCENTIVE TO DOING THE RIGHT THINGS WHILE THEY ARE DOING THEIR TIME IN PRISON AND TO GIVE THEM POSITIVE MOTIVATION FOR NOT RETURNING BACK TO PRISON AGAIN AND JUST TO ALLOW YOUR LOVED ONE TO KNOW AND FEEL THAT THEIR FAMILY HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON THEM AND THAT THEY ARE LOVED DESPITE WHERE THEY ARE.
IT WILL ALSO ALLOW THE HUSBAND/WIFE TIME TO BOND WITH ONE ANOTHER, GIVE THE COMPANIONSHIP THAT WE ALL NEED AND TO RELEASE THE STRESS THAT THEY BOTH ENDURE FROM LIFE'S HEAVY BLOW'S. SIMPLY BECAUSE HUMAN TOUCH IS A PART OF EVOLUTION.
