What to Expect During a Visit at USP Beaumont: Physical contact, time limits, and rules
First visits are nerve-wracking—nobody wants to accidentally break a rule and lose time with their person. Here's what to expect at USP Beaumont: how much physical contact is allowed, how long visits can last, and why schedules sometimes shift.
Physical contact at USP Beaumont is limited. You can share a brief hug, handshake, or kiss "in good taste" when you arrive and again when you leave. That's it. During the visit itself, expect contact to be restricted. Follow the visiting room officer's instructions - staff can tighten limits at any time for security or to keep the room orderly.
Tip: Keep hello-and-goodbye contact short and respectful. If staff tells you to stop or adjust, do it right away - limits can be tightened for security and order.
Federal rules guarantee inmates at least four hours of visiting time per month. Many facilities offer more than that under normal operations.
That minimum doesn't guarantee long visits every time. The Warden can restrict or shorten visits for security reasons or overcrowding - which affects how often you can come in and how much time you'll get on any given day.
Reminder: Four hours per month is the federal minimum, but local conditions still matter. Security concerns and overcrowding can reduce what's actually available.
If you’re wondering about extended private visits: the Federal Bureau of Prisons does not permit conjugal visits.
