How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting someone at FCI Williamsburg requires approval first—the inmate must add you to their visiting list, and the Bureau of Prisons must clear you. Complete and return visitor information form BP‑A0629 to the institution. Be aware: false statements on this form can carry criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. If a visiting list hasn't been set up yet (right after intake or a transfer, for example), immediate family members who can be verified from the inmate's Pre‑Sentence Report may still be allowed to visit. When you enter Bureau grounds, you're implicitly consenting to searches under Bureau policy and 28 C.F.R. Part 511. Leave prohibited items listed on BP‑A0224 at home, and dress appropriately—visitors may be turned away for inappropriate or revealing clothing. Visiting hours are typically Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Inmates are entitled to at least four hours of visiting time per month. Verify the exact schedule before you travel, arrive early for screening, and cancel ahead of time if your plans change.
