The purpose of this study is to explore correctional facility visitation practices with regard to children. Visitors were asked their opinions about their decision to allow children to visit inmates and whether that decision could be influenced by the availability of different visitation modalities. Visitors from three jails offer opinions about the experiences of children visiting via three different modalities: those who visit face-to-face with Plexiglas between child and visitor, those using on-site video visitation from the lobby of a facility, and those using remote video visitation where the visitor utilizes a personal computer and video camera to connect with the inmate. Results indicate that, despite many advantages of in-person visitation, remote video visitation may be best for children
