How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
You can't visit at USP Beaumont until the inmate puts you on their approved visiting list and the Bureau of Prisons clears you. The inmate kicks off this process by requesting the BP‑A0629 Visitor Information form, which you'll complete and return to the institution. The form asks for basic ID and contact info, plus an authorization to release criminal records so the Warden can determine if you're eligible to visit. The BOP allows visitors including relatives, friends/associates, officials, clergy, employers, sponsors, parole advisors, and attorneys. Visiting schedules typically include weekends and holidays, though exact days and times vary—security concerns or overcrowding can limit availability. Inmates are legally entitled to at least four hours of visits per month. Brief contact like handshakes, hugs, and kisses is generally allowed at the start and end of visits. Conjugal visits aren't permitted. Call ahead to confirm your visit, and arrange your own transportation.
