New York state prison officials will require inmate visitors to present a form of photo identification later this year.
The state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision says the photo requirement will go into effect for all adult visitors on Oct. 1. Also, a photograph will be taken of each adult visitor for the agency's records.
Commissioner Brian Fischer says the new visitation rules will strengthen prison security.
Acceptable forms of identification will include a driver's license, a Department of Motor Vehicles non-driver photo identification, government-issued photo identification; an armed services identification or an employment identification.
