Visitors Barred From Florida Prisons Until At Least June 28
June 11, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic visitation suspension at Florida prisons has been extended until at least June 28, the Florida Department of Corrections announced Wednesday.
“The decision to reinstate the normal visitation schedule will be evaluated in consultation,” the FDC said.
Inmates will continue to have access to their loved ones through mail, phone calls and video visitation. Legal visits will not be impacted, although attorneys are encouraged to consult with their clients via phone, email or mail during this time.

Wow dangerous idea. That will make inmates very upset and unruly I’m sure. Used to work in the jail in another city in Fla and if there was a lockdown it created a very dangerous situation for us staff and inmates. Hope that’s a wise decision. There are some that are good humble inmates that live for their visits. It really depresses some folks — others get pure violent. Hope all goes well.
It is good how they are trying to keep them all alive.
David for loving others
