Before Your First Visit to USP Florence ADMAX: Call Ahead and What to Expect
Your first visit to USP Florence ADMAX will go more smoothly if you confirm the schedule before traveling and arrive ready for screening. Here's what to know about calling ahead, what security involves, and why visits sometimes get limited or canceled.
The Bureau of Prisons welcomes visitors to USP Florence ADMAX, but expects you to do some homework first. Review the visiting regulations for this facility and check for any state or local travel advisories that could affect your trip. A quick check can save you from showing up on a day when operations are limited or when road conditions make the drive unsafe.
Call ahead: Confirm the visiting schedule with USP Florence ADMAX before you depart. Phone: 603-342-4000.
Expect security screening as part of the visit. Under Bureau policy and federal regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 511), entering or even attempting to enter Bureau grounds counts as consent to be searched. That includes you and everything you bring, so keep your belongings simple and easy to inspect.

Carrying medication? Expect extra attention at the entrance. All medication must be listed on your visitor form and left at the entry area while you visit. If you take daily doses, plan your timing so you're not caught off guard at check-in.
Even when you do everything right, the institution can still change the plan. The Warden may restrict or cancel visiting for safety and security reasons, including severe weather or other incidents that impact normal operations. This is one of the biggest reasons calling ahead matters, especially if you're traveling from out of town.
There's a baseline standard that helps set expectations. By law, an inmate receives at least four hours of visiting time per month, and the institution may offer more. At the same time, the Warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors at once, so you may encounter rules affecting how long you can stay or how visitation gets scheduled.
