Tina here:

Fudge wasn't visiting Sirius, he was inspecting and Sirius asked for 
his newspaper.  He was there in an official capacity.
POA Am PB 209  "Yet I met Black on my last inspection of 
Azkaban....  He spoke quite rationally to me."
As far as the Crouch family goes, Crouch was allowed a visit to his 
son because he was a higher up Ministry official.  GOF Am PB 529  
Sirius notes "Crouch being an important Ministry member, he and his 
wife were allowed a deathbed visit."  
So, this makes me wonder if visitors are allowed at all?  We do not 
know what was going on with Lupin either way - would he have liked 
to confront Sirius (but was unable to) or is he just more a head-in-
the-sand type?
