Honestly refusing in person visits by default should be outlawed on the grounds of being cruel and unusual punishment. But America loves to be cruel, so I doubt modern courts would establish a Constitutional right to in-person visitation.
Too bad, because imho video-only visitation is a human rights abuse.

(I searched for "supreme court prisoner rights") I'm not lampooning the religious right to a beard, I'm suggesting that the atmosphere in the courts may be better than you think.
