How to Get on an Inmate's Visiting List at FCI Three Rivers (who can be approved)

You can't just show up at FCI Three Rivers and ask to visit. The inmate has to add you to their approved visiting list first, and then the Bureau of Prisons has to clear you. Both steps matter. If you're planning travel, confirm the inmate has actually submitted your name and that your clearance came through before booking anything.

FCI Three Rivers uses the BP‑A0629 visitor questionnaire and release form to screen visitors. You'll need to fill it out completely and mail it back to the institution. This form is the starting point - until it's submitted, you won't be considered for visiting privileges.

Part of the BP‑A0629 includes authorization for the Warden to pull records of any criminal offenses. That's how the Bureau of Prisons verifies your background. Expect your information to be reviewed before you're approved.

Who Qualifies

• ✓ Grandparents
• ✓ Uncles
• ✓ Aunts
• ✓ In-laws
• ✓ Cousins

Friends and associates can also be approved - not just family members. But there's a limit: inmates at FCI Three Rivers can have no more than 10 friends or associates on their visiting list. If that cap is already reached, someone has to be removed before a new person can be added.

Once you mail in the BP‑A0629, the Bureau of Prisons reviews your information and runs the background check you authorized. Your request won't move forward until the form is complete and returned. Approval depends entirely on clearing that process.
