How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Call FCI Marianna to confirm the current visiting schedule before you travel. The Warden sets visiting hours, and by policy the schedule must include Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Check the facility's posted days and times for specifics. Each inmate must be allowed at least four hours of visiting time per month, and the institution's schedule determines how that monthly minimum is met. Before planning your trip, make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitor list. You'll need to complete any required visitor application and wait for approval. If you're traveling from farther away, ask whether FCI Marianna offers on-site or remote video visits, and how scheduling works.
