SACRAMENTO — The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has suspended conjugal and family visits in all state prisons in response to concerns over COVID-19.

The announcement came a week after the agency suspended all regular visits, but said it would allow multi-day intimate visiting to continue. On Sunday, however officials announced the suspension of conjugal visits — known in the system as family visits — but said that visits in progress would be allowed to continue.
