My love one in jail has an old case and he never been convicted of and the prison is denying him visit of contact visit with a minor they are holding him to an old case when he was a juvenile how can we get him approve for contact visit with minors
A:
Under California law, if your loved one is being denied contact visits with minors due to an old case from when he was a juvenile and has never been convicted, there are steps you can take to address this issue. Start by requesting a review of his visitation status through the prison's administrative process. This often involves submitting a formal request or appeal to the prison authorities, explaining the situation and providing any relevant documentation that supports his case.
If the administrative appeal is unsuccessful, consider seeking legal assistance to explore further options. A lawyer can help you understand the specific reasons for the denial and whether there is a legal basis to challenge it. They can also guide you on how to present evidence of his good behavior and any rehabilitation efforts he has undertaken since the juvenile case.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to gather character references from people who can attest to his suitability for contact visits. This can include letters from family members, community leaders, or employers. Presenting a strong case with supporting documents and testimonials can improve the chances of reversing the decision and allowing contact visits with minors.
