A New York Times report examines whether jailed people's families have a legal right to physical contact during visits, in coverage tied to former San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin. The debate centers on jail visitation rules that restrict hugs and touch, raising questions about prisoners' rights, family bonds and humane treatment in the justice system.
