How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Call Herlong FCI before you travel. The Warden can restrict or cancel visiting, and inmates in special housing may have a modified schedule. Federal law guarantees at least four hours of visiting time per month, but the Warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors for safety reasons or to prevent overcrowding. You consent to searches by entering or attempting to enter Bureau grounds. Refuse a search, and you can be denied entry. Review the Notification to Visitor form for prohibited objects and medication instructions (any medications you bring must be listed and left at the entry area). To get approved, proposed visitors must submit a visitor questionnaire and release form. False statements can bring criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Transportation is not reimbursed, so plan your own travel.
