FCI BUTNER MEDIUM 2

Before visiting FCI Butner Medium 2, you must be on the inmate's approved visiting list and cleared by the Bureau of Prisons. Proposed visitors complete the BP‑A0629 Visitor Information form (questionnaire and release) and return it to the institution address for review. Lists typically include relatives and up to 10 friends or associates. Staff may limit how many people visit at once or how long visits last. Dress code rules apply—no revealing clothing or anything resembling inmate attire. Physical contact is limited: brief handshakes, hugs, or kisses are usually allowed at the start and end of visits, subject to staff direction. Visiting hours are commonly on weekends and holidays, but confirm current hours and directions with the facility before you travel.

Inmates at FCI Butner Medium 2 have BOP telephone privileges, but third‑party or alternative call arrangements are prohibited. Usually the inmate pays for calls, though sometimes the receiving party pays. Calls are routinely monitored—a notice is posted by the telephones—and unmonitored attorney calls are allowed in certain circumstances. TRUFONE's privacy documentation cites statutory authority, including Title III provisions, to authorize monitoring and recording. Phone services, messaging, and video are commonly handled through third‑party vendor accounts. TRULINCS is funded by the Inmate Trust Fund rather than taxpayer dollars.

Mail to inmates at FCI Butner Medium 2 is screened. All general correspondence is opened and inspected, while legal or otherwise privileged "special mail" may be opened only in the inmate's presence. Packages from home generally aren't allowed without prior written approval—exceptions include release clothing and authorized medical devices. Sending reading material? Hardcover and softcover publications, newspapers, and magazines must ship directly from the publisher, a book club, or a bookstore (or another approved commercial source). Sexually explicit or nudity-featuring commercially produced materials are prohibited under the Ensign Amendment and will be returned to the sender with notification.
