How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before visiting FCI Beckley, you must be cleared by the Bureau of Prisons and placed on the inmate's approved visiting list. Inmates can list up to 10 friends or associates. Immediate family may sometimes visit sooner if verified through the Pre‑Sentence Report, though visits can still be denied. Visiting typically happens on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays—verify the official hours before you travel. The Warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors to prevent overcrowding, but inmates are guaranteed at least four visiting hours per month by law. Expect to complete a visitor questionnaire and release form; false statements carry serious criminal penalties. Follow the dress code, keep physical contact limited, and know that conjugal visits aren't permitted.
