Visitation Prison Architect Guide

The role of this room is rather obvious - thanks to it, prisoners can meet with their families. Visitations are held daily, between 8 AM and 8 PM. Visitors and let in by guards and cannot be searched (and sometimes they're smuggling things inside!). That's why you should place at least one officer in the visitation room and control the situation using him (searching a prisoner is not a problem). You should also consider placing a Metal Detector.

One visitor table is enough for one group of visitors (i.e. one prisoner). There usually aren't many people willing to pay a visit, so six tables are enough to satisfy the needs of around 60 prisoners. Therefore the size of the room should be proportional to the amount of objects inside - as shown in the above screenshot. You should also remember that despite the fact that such rooms can largely satisfy the Family need, they still aren't enough. Investing in Phone Booths is therefore strongly advised.
