Visitation rights are one of the rights possessed by Correctional Inmates as a form of fulfillment of human rights and as a means to maintain social relations with family and society during the period of serving a sentence. The implementation of visitation rights in correctional institutions exerts a vital function in bolstering the mentoring procedure, but realistically, a variety of barriers persist, which may impact the optimal execution of its implementation.

The present paper uses a realistic juridical methodology featuring a sociological law perspective. Data were obtained via personal dialogues, fieldwork observations, and document analyses, then examined qualitatively in a narrative manner. The findings demonstrate that the way the implementation of visitation rights is managed within Singaraja Class IIB Correctional Institution has basically referred to the applicable laws and regulations through registration mechanisms, identity verification, security checks, and supervision during visits.
