“…However, the comfort of a place to undergo or get a visit is essential so that both prisoners and families visiting can get the maximum benefit from this program (Anamica Singh and Anupal Dasgupta, 2015). Prisoners see the conjugal visit program as a positive thing because it helps reduce their suffering in prison and strengthen their relationship with their spouses (Moran and Disney, 2018). Based on the research, it was found that the marital visit program had a positive impact and a negative impact on visitors, especially female visitors.…”

Biological needs are primary needs for everyone. Likewise, he is an ordinary human being who has the right to biological needs, which requires more attention from the government in terms of regulations or policies that regulate the needs of a biologist.The first problem is regarding government policies related to prisoners’ sexual needs. The second one is the fulfilment of sexual needs in the perspective of the aim of punishment. This research method uses a normative juridical method, namely by analyzing the data qualitatively, meaning that the data obtained which leads to a theoretical study in the form of principles, legal doctrines and the contents of legal rules are first described systematically. This policy regarding imprisonment is still the alternative that is most often applied by law enforcers, which results in correctional institutions becoming over-capacity/overcrowded so that the sentencing process is not optimal, one of which is regarding the fulfillment of biological rights and creates a sense of lack of justice in it, in order to achieve a social policies, criminal policies, and law enforcement policies that are optimal and just, must be oriented to the aspired values. So the policy needs synergy between law enforcement officials and the community, for the sake of realizing justice.

“…There are emotional barriers, whether these relate to feelings regarding the alleged offence and responses by other people to it, or emotions due to stilted or emotionally charged contact. Moran & Disney (2018) argue that problematic visiting areas actually diminish opportunities for intimacy: ‘how the spaces provided for prison visitation affect the doing of intimacy in ways that arguably detract from the potential benefits of visitation in supporting the wellbeing of both prisoners and visitors’ (p.180). Loved ones, who themselves have not been remanded, are placed in positions where they must navigate significant changes to their relationships which are heavily influenced by, and within, the prisons (Booth & Masson, 2021).…”

This article proposes that loved ones supporting prisoners with experience of remand in England and Wales may use Sykes & Matza's (1957) 'techniques of neutralization' by proxy. Adopting neutralisations may enable those in prison to be viewed not as those who have harmed, or bad people, but as those who themselves have been harmed. Potential benefits of these techniques are twofold: they help to reject stigma; and explain and enable continued contact. This framework may be a useful basis for work exploring familial contact and support for those affected by imprisonment.
