Minnesota DOC suspends all in-person visitation

[patchouli]

From Minnesota's DOC webpage:

1) Waive medical copays
All medical copays are waived until further notice. The agency is committed to ensuring that individual economic concerns do not limit an inmate’s willingness to seek medical care.
2) Suspension of in-person visiting
Effective immediately, in-person visiting in all Minnesota correctional facilities is suspended until conditions warrant a change.
Professional and attorney visits will continue, emphasizing phone calls and video conferences/visits, or non-contact visits if necessary.
3) Planning to implement no-cost video visiting
DOC is working with the agency’s video visiting and tablet vendors to provide no cost video visiting to allow incarcerated people to maintain pro-social contact with family members.
