How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
To visit someone at FCI Greenville, you must be on their approved visiting list and cleared by the Bureau of Prisons—no approval, no entry. Start by completing and returning the BP-A0629 visitor questionnaire and release form to the institution. Once approved, the BP-A0224 visitor notification kicks in: entering BOP grounds means you consent to searches. Certain items are prohibited, and any medications must be left at entry. There's a dress code, and staff can turn you away for inappropriate or provocative clothing. They may also limit physical contact for security reasons. Inmates are entitled to at least four hours of visiting time per month, but the Warden can restrict visit length, number of visitors, and schedules. Always check current hours before making the trip.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
