What is defined as visitation between inmates and visitors with limited physical contact?

Contact Visitation
Non-contact Visitation
Supervised Visitation
Restricted Visitation

The correct answer is: Contact Visitation

The term that describes visitation between inmates and visitors with limited physical contact is non-contact visitation. This type of visitation typically occurs in a controlled environment where physical interaction is restricted to ensure the safety of both the inmates and the visitors. During non-contact visits, communication takes place through barriers, such as glass partitions, where inmates can see and speak to their visitors without any physical touch. This system is often implemented in correctional facilities for various reasons, including preventing the passage of contraband and maintaining security. In contrast, contact visitation allows inmates and visitors to interact physically, which is not the case in non-contact visitation. Options regarding supervised or restricted visitation likewise involve different parameters surrounding visitation rules but do not specifically denote the limitation on physical contact that is essential to understanding non-contact visitation.
