Before Your First Visit to USP Florence ADMAX: 5 Things You Must Do
Your first visit to USP Florence ADMAX will go much smoother if you handle a few basics before you travel. These five checks will help you avoid getting turned away at the door.
First things first: confirm you're on the inmate's approved visiting list. If your name isn't on that list, you won't be allowed in - period. Don't assume you can sort it out when you arrive. Have the inmate verify your status before you make the trip.
Not sure if you qualify? Bureau of Prisons visiting lists can include a range of relatives - grandparents, uncles, aunts, in-laws, cousins - plus up to 10 friends or associates. Other categories may be approved too: clergy and religious group members, former or prospective employers, and attorneys. Even if you're not immediate family, you may still be eligible.
Call USP Florence ADMAX at 603-342-4000 to confirm the visiting schedule before you leave. Schedules can change or get canceled for security reasons. The last thing you want is to drive all the way out there only to find visiting isn't happening that day.
Note: While you’re planning, review the visiting regulations and check any applicable state and local travel advisories so you’re not surprised by rule changes or travel disruptions.
Dress code violations are one of the most common reasons visitors get turned away. Plan your outfit before you leave home. The "not permitted" list is longer than most people expect: revealing shorts, halter tops, bathing suits, see-through garments, crop tops, low-cut blouses or dresses, leotards, spandex, miniskirts, backless tops, hats or caps, and sleeveless garments. Skirts two inches or more above the knee (or with a high-cut split) can also be a problem. Skip anything resembling inmate clothing too - khaki or green military-type outfits are off-limits.
Tip: When in doubt, go conservative. You're trying to get through the door, not debate clothing choices at check-in.
Expect to be searched. By entering - or even attempting to enter - Bureau grounds, you're consenting to a search under Bureau policy and federal regulations. Refuse, and you won't get in. Keep it simple: bring only what you truly need and leave everything else secured off grounds.
