From my experience in research for my Master's Thesis you will find that each state has their own rules and regs and each jurisdiction puts their own twist on the mix. Only Federal prisons have like policies in all the institutions however depending on the "warden's personal feelings" they may be interpeted and inforced as he/she sees fit. An on-line search for the specific institution may reveal what you are looking for or a call to the state's prison board. Ann G.
