Returned to non-contact visits at all prisons. Visitation may be suspended entirely at prisons with significant outbreaks of the virus. Friends and family with scheduled visits should check with the prison. Reinstated COVID-19 testing for all offenders prior to transfer to another prison, regardless of vaccination status. Slowed the number of daily new admission of offenders from the county jails to reduce the potential introduction of the virus through prison processing centers.
