SPRINGFIELD - Governor Bruce Rauner signed a bill to provide low-cost video visitation to men, women and youth in prison, into law.
Part of the bill states "All of the institutions of the Department shall permit every committed person to receive in-person visitors and video contact, if available, except in case of abuse of the visiting privilege or when the chief administrative officer determines that such visiting would be harmful or dangerous to the security, safety or morale of the institution or facility. The chief administrative officer shall have the right to restrict visitation to non-contact visit, video, or other forms of non-contact visits for reasons of safety, security and order."
