The current staffing shortage is still impacting prisons, with seven facilities currently being shut to the public. Nearly half of all prisoners are unsure as to whether they'll get the chance to have 30 minute visits with family and friends again. Corrections says that the staffing shortage is a health and safety issue, and they have 500 jobs to fill in order to reinstate the visitation rights. Human rights advocate and former prisoner, Arthur Taylor, is here to explain that the staffing shortage shouldn't affect the visitation rights and that prisoners need to maintain community roots to better integrate into society at the end of their sentences.
