Q: Got denied visits for minor misconduct
My husband is in prison he got his visits taking away for substance 2 years ago, we went through all the loop polls of getting them back with them saying since he got a minor misconduct that they are not going to restore his visits but however in policy it only states that they can deny them for a misconduct 1 but not a misconduct 2 ticket which that is what he got..
A: It sounds like the MDOC is using subsequent misconduct to deny restoration of visiting privileges. That is very different from an initial determination. In a nutshell, they are saying "our policy wouldn't allow us to take away visitations for this latest ticket, but because of this latest ticket, we're not restoring visitation".
