How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
