What must pro per inmates obtain to request a visit with an inmate from another agency?

To request a visit with an inmate from another agency, pro per inmates must obtain a court order. This is because the legal process surrounding inmate visitation, especially when involving inmates from different facilities or agencies, typically requires formal authorization from the court. Court orders serve as a means of regulation and ensure that the visit is sanctioned and does not conflict with any legal restrictions or safety concerns that may be in place.

In the context of the correctional system, pro per inmates—those representing themselves without an attorney—must follow established legal protocols, and obtaining a court order is a standard requirement for facilitating inter-agency visitations. This ensures that all parties involved adhere to the legal guidelines and that the rights and safety of both inmates are respected.
