fault/files/data/32_1 prison visitation.pdf. In places where a state's policy is refer-
enced without quotation or elaboration, no footnote has been provided; however,
the dataset contains citations for all referenced policies.
*    Chesa Boudin is a zon graduate of the Yale Law School, and a former law clerk to
the Honorable Margaret M. McKeown of the United States Court of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit. He recently completed a Liman Fellowship at the San Francisco
Public Defender's Office.

Honorable Richard A. Paez of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth

*** Aaron Littman is a member of the Yale Law School class of 2014. The authors thank
the Liman Program at Yale Law School and Judith Resnik, Hope Metcalf, Fiona
Doherty, Nina Rabin, and Sia Sanneh for their supervision. We thank the directors
of the Departments of Corrections of all fifty states for their time and effort in
providing us with information about their inmate visitation policies that was not
available on the Departments' websites. That assistance was facilitated by the Asso-
ciation of State Correctional Administrators and, in particular, by President Ashbel
T. Wall, II, Director of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections, who provided
constructive guidance throughout our research. We also express our appreciation
to the Association's staff-particularly Co-Executive Director George Camp and
Senior Associate Wayne Choinski-who were instrumental in making the entire
data collection process so successful. Finally, many generously read and com-
mented on early drafts: Brett Dignam, David Fathi, Philip Genty, David Menschel,
Chief Administrative Law Judge Brenda Murray, Myrna Raeder, and Michael Wald.
We are also grateful for the outstanding editorial assistance provided by Ben Mos-
kowitz and Julie Veroff. Any errors are ours alone.
