AB 1645: Corrections: Humanizing and Uniting Generations Safely Act of 2026.
What AB 1645 does, verified August 25, 2026
The bill aims to improve the visitation process in prisons by humanizing and uniting generations safely. It would require prison regulations to recognize the value of visitation as a means of increasing safety, maintaining family and community connections, and preparing incarcerated persons for successful release and rehabilitation. The bill also prohibits the department from unreasonably restricting physical contact between incarcerated persons and their visitors, such as hugs, during visits. This change would allow for more humanizing and uniting interactions between inmates and their loved ones.
