Visitation at Rivers CI

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Getting on the visitor list starts with the inmate—they need to add you and send you a Visitor Information form. Complete and return the BP‑A0629 visitor questionnaire/release to the institution. This form authorizes the warden to run criminal background checks and includes warnings about federal penalties for false statements. Before you travel, call Rivers CI at 603‑342‑4000 to confirm the schedule. Visits typically happen on weekends and holidays, but the warden can limit visiting times or cap the number and length of visits to prevent overcrowding. By entering Bureau grounds, you consent to searches. Prohibited items—weapons, explosives, drugs, cameras, telephones, radios, and pagers—will get you turned away. Brief, appropriate contact is usually allowed at the start and end of visits. Conjugal visits aren't permitted.
