FCI Aliceville

Getting on the approved visiting list starts with the inmate requesting a BP‑A0629 Visitor Information form for you to complete and return. The BOP runs background checks as part of the review—you'll authorize release of your criminal records, and the Warden uses those reports to decide whether to approve you. Your details (name, date of birth, relationship, and ID documents) are stored in WebV, the system that manages visits. Visiting typically happens on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, though hours vary—confirm the current schedule before making the trip. Inmates are guaranteed at least four hours of visiting time per month, but the Warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors at once. You'll also need to follow dress and conduct rules, including restrictions on certain clothing, and arrange your own transportation.

Incarcerated people at FCI Aliceville can make phone calls, though third-party or alternative call arrangements aren't allowed. Signs posted throughout the facility warn that calls are monitored—attorney calls may be unmonitored in certain circumstances. The facility cites federal statutes and BOP regulations (including 28 C.F.R. §540.100 et seq.) as authority for monitoring and recording. For electronic messaging, TRULINCS is available as a paid Inmate Trust Fund service. Messages are text-only, capped at 13,000 characters, and both the inmate and outside contact must consent to monitoring. Inmates place outgoing calls using assigned PINs, and outside contacts typically need an account with funds to accept calls or messages.

Sending mail to someone at FCI Aliceville is straightforward once you know the rules. Incoming mail falls into two categories: general and special. Staff open and inspect general correspondence for contraband and security threats. Packages from home aren't allowed without prior written approval—the only family exceptions are release clothing and authorized medical devices. Publications (books, magazines, flyers, catalogs) are generally permitted under BOP practice unless restricted by law, but sourcing matters. Hardcover books and newspapers must ship directly from the publisher, a book club, or a bookstore. Some security levels have similar requirements for softcover items. Before sending anything, confirm the inmate's required ID, include your full return address, and double-check all names and addresses to avoid mail being returned or destroyed.
