A conjugal visit is a scheduled visit during which an inmate of a penal institution is permitted to have sexual intercourse with a visitor in a closely controlled setting. It is generally stipulated that this visitor be a spouse. The generally recognized basis for permitting such a visit is that, even though the inmate has lost their rights with incarceration, their spouse still has the right to enjoy sexual intimacy, and cannot be required to divorce or commit adultery in order to enjoy conjugal rights.
Inmates are required to meet certain requirements to qualify for this privilege, e.g. no violation of the rules in the last six months, history of good behavior, etc. The inmate must also be free of any sexually-transmitted diseases. The practice is usually restricted to minimum security facilities. During the visit, the inmate and visitor are usually led to a special private location, often a trailer or dedicated room, and often provided with certain supplies, such as soap, condoms, tissues, sheets, pillows, and towels. As a matter of procedure, both visitor and inmate are searched before and after the visit, to ensure that the visitor has not attempted to sneak any items in or out of the facility.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not allow conjugal visits[1].
The concept of the conjugal visit, like many other features of prison culture, has achieved mythic status in popular culture.

CONJUGAL RIGHTS, those rights which a husband and wife have to each other's society. When either party continues to refuse to render these rights to the other, they may be enforced by a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights.
