How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at FCI Pollock starts before you ever arrive. The inmate must add you to their approved visiting list, and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has to clear you before you can visit. The inmate requests the BP‑A0629 Visitor Information form, which collects standard personal details—your legal name, date of birth, address, phone number, race, sex, and citizenship. The form includes an authorization allowing release of criminal offense records as part of suitability checks, and background inquiries may be sent to law enforcement. The BOP recognizes several visitor categories: relatives, friends/associates, officials, clergy, employers, sponsors, parole advisors, and attorneys. Visiting schedules are typically posted for weekends and holidays, and inmates are entitled to at least four hours of visiting time per month (subject to Warden restrictions). Dress appropriately—provocative or revealing attire can get you turned away. Physical contact is limited to brief greetings and goodbyes. Conjugal visits are not permitted.
