Allow conjugal visits for prisoners in England and Wales

Allow prisoners to have conjugal visits with their partners. We think this will put less strain on relationships and might also help keep prisoners in check as they could lose rights for certain visits if misbehaving.

The UK has one of the highest rates of re-offending in the western world. We think it could be beneficial for prisoners to be allowed time to de-stress with their partner. It could also help couples who are looking to start a family, especially if the prisoner has a long sentence.
