According to a study by researchers at the Minnesota Department of Corrections, prisoners who receive visitors were 13% less likely to commit another felony and 25% less likely to end up back in prison.
What this study portrays is that we are all humans, and humans need human interaction. This simple act makes for a more healthy society, even and especially so within the realm of prison society. And most astoundingly, data shows that the more visits a prisoner receives, the lower the chance of re-offending after release.
