Visitation

To get approved, complete the BP‑A0629 visitor questionnaire, which authorizes background and criminal-record checks. If you withhold required information, processing can be suspended. False statements can carry federal penalties. By entering BOP grounds, you consent to screening and searches. You can be denied entry for refusing a search, bringing prohibited items, or wearing inappropriate or provocative clothing. Limited physical contact is generally allowed (handshakes, hugs, brief kisses in good taste), though staff may restrict it for security reasons. Call the facility to confirm the visiting schedule and review visiting regulations and travel advisories before you go. You'll need to arrange your own transportation.
