Under what conditions can visiting rights be limited or denied according to directive 2007R-b?

Visiting rights can be limited or denied primarily when there is a threat to facility safety. This includes circumstances where a visitor poses a risk to the safety and security of the inmates, staff, or the facility itself. The department prioritizes maintaining an orderly and secure environment, and any indication that a visitor might disrupt that balance or introduce contraband can warrant restrictions on visitation. Therefore, upholding safety protocols supersedes other potential considerations such as financial constraints, space issues, or visitor identification problems, which, though important, do not directly compromise the immediate safety of the facility.
