How to Complete and Update the Authorized Visitor List at Bedford County Correctional Facility
¿Quiere visitar a alguien en Bedford County Correctional Facility (BCCF)? La Lista de Visitantes Autorizados es su primer obstáculo. Aquí le explicamos cómo completarla correctamente, mantenerse dentro del límite de 10 personas y gestionar las actualizaciones —para que no se le niegue la visita en la puerta.
Cuando alguien es recientemente internado en Bedford County Correctional Facility, recibe un formulario de Lista de Visitantes Autorizados. Esto no es opcional: las visitas dependen de ello. El interno enumera a las personas que desea ver, y esos visitantes deben ser aprobados por la instalación antes de que pueda realizarse cualquier visita.
Warning: If you aren’t on the inmate’s Authorized Visitor List and approved by BCCF Administration, you won’t be permitted to visit.
Cada campo importa. Para cada visitante potencial, el interno debe proporcionar el nombre del visitante, la dirección, la fecha de nacimiento, el género y la relación con el interno. La información incompleta o parcial retrasa el proceso y puede impedir la aprobación por completo.
- ✓ Use the visitor’s full legal name exactly as it appears on their driver’s license or state-issued photo ID
- ✓ Write the address exactly as it appears on the ID
- ✓ Enter the date of birth exactly as shown on the ID
- ✓ List the visitor’s gender to match what’s on the ID
Tip: Double-check every entry against the visitor’s ID. If the ID doesn’t match the approved list, the visit will be turned away.
BCCF caps the Authorized Visitor List at 10 people. Choose carefully - once the list is full, adding someone new usually means removing someone else.
- Plan your list carefully - The Authorized Visitor List can include up to (but not exceed) 10 people.
- Wait until you’re ready to make a change - The list can be changed only once every 30 days.
- Submit a written request to the Deputy Warden - This written request is how the inmate starts the change process.
- Use the Supplementary Authorized Visitor List to update names - When the change is allowed, the inmate will be given a Supplementary Authorized Visitor List to add or remove visitors.
Common Mistakes
- ✓ Using nicknames or shortened names that don’t match the visitor’s driver’s license or state photo ID
- ✓ Typos in the visitor’s name, address, date of birth, or gender
- ✓ Listing an old address when the visitor’s ID shows a different one
- ✓ Submitting a list that isn’t filled out completely for every person
- ✓ Assuming someone can visit before they’re approved by BCCF Administration
Heads up: Even small mismatches between the visitor’s ID and the inmate’s approved visitor list can lead to the visit being turned away.
After BCCF Administration reviews the list, the inmate will be told if any visitors were denied. If you're waiting to hear whether you've been approved, check with the inmate - they're the one who receives denial information.
Note: Details like where the written change request should be sent and how long approval takes aren’t included here. If you need those logistics, contact the facility directly to confirm the current process.
