Who to Call at FCI Edgefield Before You Visit
Before you start the drive to FCI Edgefield, make one quick call. It can save you from showing up on a day visits are restricted, canceled, or running on a different schedule.
FCI Edgefield recommends calling to confirm the visiting schedule before you leave. Visits can be restricted or canceled for safety reasons, severe weather, or other incidents affecting normal operations. If you're traveling a long distance, that call is the easiest way to avoid wasted time, missed work, and the cost of a trip that ends at the front door.
Call FCI Edgefield at 603-342-4000 before you leave. Confirm the visiting schedule for the day you plan to go. Even if you think you have the hours right, a same-day check helps you plan your arrival and reduces the chance of being turned away due to a last-minute change.
- ✓ Are regular visiting hours in effect today, or is there any restriction or cancellation?
- ✓ Is the person I’m visiting eligible to receive visits right now?
- ✓ Are there any facility restrictions I should know about before I travel?
- ✓ Are there any state or local travel advisories I should follow for this trip?
- ✓ Is there anything specific I should review in your visiting regulations before I arrive?
Before you plan a visit, confirm you're on the inmate's approved visiting list. This isn't something you can fix at the door. If you're not sure whether you've been added, check with the incarcerated person so you know your visit is actually possible before you travel.
Heads up: If you are not on the approved visiting list, you can be denied a visit even if you show up during the correct hours.
Plan your transportation knowing the government does not reimburse or pay for visitor travel. You'll need to arrange your own ride to and from FCI Edgefield and cover all costs yourself.
As you map out the trip, review FCI Edgefield's visiting regulations and check any applicable state and local travel advisories. Those two pieces together help you avoid last-minute surprises, especially when conditions outside the facility affect travel or operations.
- Call before you leave - Confirm the visiting schedule for the day you plan to arrive.
- Call again if it’s a long drive - If you’re traveling hours, or conditions change, a second check can prevent a wasted trip.
- Reconfirm the essentials - Ask if visiting hours are in effect and whether the person you’re visiting is eligible to receive visitors that day.
