Before you can visit someone at FCI Butner Medium 2, you'll need to complete the BP-A0629 visitor questionnaire. Here's what the form covers, what you'll need to fill out, and what happens once you send it in.
First things first: confirm where your loved one is actually housed. In the federal system, the inmate creates their own visiting list when they arrive at a new facility—and that list determines who can be approved to visit. Why does this matter? People get transferred between facilities for programs, medical care, or security reasons. Starting paperwork for the wrong location will slow everything down. A quick check of the BOP inmate locator keeps you on track.
