How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at USP Beaumont takes some planning, especially your first time. You must be on the inmate's approved visiting list before you'll be allowed in, so start the approval process early. Schedules vary by custody level and unit layout, with many institutions using set weekday and weekend blocks. Verify the current hours with the facility before you travel. Depending on the unit and the inmate's privileges, visits may be in-person contact, non-contact, or remote/video. The institution can restrict or cancel visits for security needs, rule violations, lockdowns, or health and safety reasons. Entry may also be denied for provocative or revealing clothing. By law, inmates receive at least 4 hours of visiting time per month, though facilities may offer more based on local rules.
