Why California prisons should be barred from abruptly canceling visiting hours

The abrupt cancellation of visiting hours in California prisons has caused significant distress for families who travel long distances to see their incarcerated loved ones, knowing that these visits are often infrequent and precious. A proposed bill aims to prevent such last-minute disruptions, ensuring that these crucial family connections aren't easily severed. This move is essential for maintaining the emotional and psychological well-being of both inmates and their families, highlighting a broader need for humane treatment within the prison system.
