Before Your First Visit to USP Florence ADMAX: What to Expect at Check‑In
Your first visit goes smoother when you know what check-in involves. Here's what to confirm before you leave and what the BOP expects once you arrive.
Before heading to USP Florence ADMAX, call 603-342-4000 to confirm the visiting schedule. The facility recommends checking in by phone before you leave. A quick call can save you a long drive - and a frustrating turnaround - if hours or procedures have changed.
The Bureau of Prisons welcomes visitors, but expects you to do some prep. Review the visiting regulations and check any travel advisories for your route. Then use your call to double-check anything you're unsure about.
When you enter - or even attempt to enter - Bureau grounds, you're consenting to a search under federal regulations (28 C.F.R. Part 511). Refuse the search, and you may be turned away. Your visit can end before it starts.
Heads up: Plan your visit assuming you'll be searched. If you're not willing to complete the process, you can be denied entry.
Expect supervision in the visiting area. The space may be monitored - including restrooms - to maintain security and order.
Physical contact is limited. At most BOP facilities, including USP Florence ADMAX, handshakes, hugs, and kisses "in good taste" are usually permitted at the beginning and end of a visit. But staff can restrict contact for security reasons or to keep things orderly. Follow the officer's direction, even if it feels stricter than expected.
Tip: Keep greetings and goodbyes brief. If staff tell you to stop or step back, do it immediately so your visit can continue.
The BOP's message to families is simple: visitors are welcome, and preparation matters. Review the visiting regulations, check travel advisories for your route, and call ahead to confirm the schedule. Don't get caught off guard at check-in.
