Visitation
Getting approved is the first step. The inmate requests a Visitor Information form for each potential visitor, and completed forms go to the BOP for review. Once approved, staff enter your record into WebV—a system that stores visitor data and displays inmate details like name, register number, housing unit, and work assignment. WebV doesn't run the background check itself. When you arrive, ACES/Web Visiting logs your entry and exit. Check-in includes at minimum an NCIC check and a legal government-issued photo ID. ACES may also capture fingerprints, a digital image, SSN, and passport or driver's license numbers. Get approved first, schedule your visit, and follow check-in instructions closely.

Sending mail to someone at FCI Jesup is straightforward once you understand the process. Many Georgia facilities route personal mail through a central processing service—letters may be opened and scanned, with electronic images delivered to inmates instead of the original paper. Exact practices vary. Non-privileged mail gets inspected for contraband, while legal or privileged mail is handled separately and may be opened in front of the inmate but not read by staff. Always include the inmate's full name and identifier on every piece of mail. On the BOP side, the Correspondence Tracking System (CTS) logs letters and emails, assigns tracking numbers, routes items for response, and supports searches by tracking number, names, register number, issue, or dates. For packages, check the facility's rules first—approved vendors, limits, and deadlines may apply.

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Inmate Locator is your starting point for finding someone at FCI Jesup. The database covers records from about 1982 to the present, though projected release dates and time-credit details can lag behind recent First Step Act recalculations—confirm time-sensitive dates through official BOP communications or the inmate's legal representative. If you have the BOP register number, search using the required format: five digits, a dash, then three digits (#####-###). This cuts down on false matches. Otherwise, gather a full or partial legal name (including known aliases or hyphenations) plus date of birth, and keep any booking/GDC or case numbers handy. If you think the person is in state custody, check Georgia DOC
