Allow conjugal visits in England and Wales

What the petition asks
The Government should allow conjugal visits in English and Welsh prisons, to allow partners to meet their needs for intimacy with their loved ones.
This is important to both the prisoner and their loved ones. Not being able to be with your partner in an intimate way can put a great strain on both parties, and can cause significant upset and tension and frustration. I think that these visits should be permitted in England and Wales.
