Prison visitation tends to be more effective in reducing recidivism when it is closer to an inmate's release from prison, more frequent, and spread out among numerous individual visitors. Further, visits from community volunteers, such as clergy and mentors, have been found to be more beneficial in decreasing recidivism. Correctional programs relying on community volunteers have been more effective when they have delivered a continuum of social support from prison to the community.
