MBLLC Holds PRESS CONFERENCE REGARDING DOC Update to PRISONER VISITATION POLICY

On Wednesday, March 20, 2019 the MBLLC acknowledged and provided details regarding changes to the Department of Correction (DOC) prison visitation policy. The changes, which allow for more pre-approved visitors, are a result of ongoing discussions between the MBLLC and DOC addressing the Commonwealth’s prison system and encourage more family visits: an essential part of rehabilitation. 

The details of the updated policy, a first step in our continued efforts to work with the DOC for the betterment of Black and Latinx inmates, are included in the attached press release and DOC notice.
