Are family members that are also clergy required to observe FL prison visitation regulations

My cousin is an ordained baptist minister and has been told he cannot visit my brother as a spiritual advisor but is subject to rules of visitation that apply to any other visitor and cannot act in his capacity as a minister. Can you tell me where to find a state statute or other regulation that establishes this and if it has ever been challenged.

In my experience, the individual prisons make up their own policies about visitation issues. The best bet may be to develope a relationship over time with the COs there and try a different person next time you ask.
