How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
To visit an inmate at FCI Forrest City Low, you must be on their approved visiting list and cleared through the BOP visitor screening process. Federal law guarantees inmates at least four hours of visiting time per month, though the warden can limit visit length or frequency to prevent overcrowding. Visiting days typically include Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and some facilities require appointments with short, scheduled sessions. Dress and conduct rules are strictly enforced. Inappropriate or provocative clothing can get you turned away at the door. Since schedules and any vendor or account setup can vary, check the facility's page or call ahead before you travel.
