There are only 6 states in the US that allow conjugal visits (California, New York, etc.). Arizona, of course, is NOT one of them. There is a petition on this site for conjugal visits, but it doesn't look to hopeful.

of family visits. Below is an excerpt from the article I found, also the link where I found it.

.....The New York State Department of Correctional Services has the Family Reunion Program which aims to strengthen family ties to help inmates have a smooth adjustment upon release. The program is similar to Mississippi's and California's conjugal visitations which consists of the family having overnight visits in private apartments. The program has yielded results such as improving inmate discipline and the New York inmates were less likely to be reincarcerated. Participating families have shown more cohesiveness and adaptiveness (both husband/wife relations and parent/child relations). (42) Despite these success stories from California, Mississippi, and New York, many correctional departments are not taking advantage of a valuable rehabilitative tool, the inmate's family. The postrelease relationship between an inmate and family is difficult. Correction administrators should encourage and push for family involvement at the beginning, the middle, and at the end of an inmate sentence. A successful transition into the community will inhibit recidivism significantly. (43)

Schafer points out the fact that family relationships affecting the rehabilitation of prisoners has been proven in several states, it has yet to be welcomed on the national level. Besides the three states previously mentioned, South Carolina, Washington, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Georgia have some form of a family visitation program. (44) There is a need for state correctional departments to cautiously experiment in some type of family visitation to strengthen both the family and the societal bond....
