How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before visiting FCI Fairton, the inmate must add you to their visiting list and the Bureau of Prisons must clear you. The list can include up to ten friends or associates. If the list hasn't been set up yet—say, after initial entry or a transfer—immediate family verified by the Pre‑Sentence Report may still be allowed to visit. You'll need to complete form BP‑A0629, which collects standard ID and demographic details and authorizes release of your criminal history to the Warden for a suitability review. Dress code rules are strict: provocative clothing or anything resembling inmate uniforms (khaki or green military‑type) can get you turned away. Visits are monitored, and appointments may be required. Call ahead to confirm hours and your approval status. Conjugal visits aren't allowed.
