What You Can't Bring and How to Dress for a Visit at USP Florence ADMAX
Your visit can end before it begins if you show up with the wrong items or clothing. Use the checklists below to avoid trouble at the gate.
Prohibited Objects
- ✓ Weapons
- ✓ Explosives
- ✓ Drugs
- ✓ Intoxicants
- ✓ Currency
- ✓ Cameras of any type
- ✓ Recording equipment
- ✓ Telephones
- ✓ Radios
- ✓ Pagers
- ✓ Electronic devices
Leave prohibited items at home. Not in your pocket, not in your bag, not tucked in your car console. At USP Florence ADMAX, phones, cameras, currency, and other electronics are all prohibited for visitors, along with weapons, explosives, drugs, and intoxicants. Bringing any of these onto Bureau of Prisons grounds can get you denied entry and cause bigger problems than a missed visit.
If you need to carry medication, plan ahead. All types of medication you have with you (prescription or over-the-counter) must be listed on the visitor form.
Even declared medication cannot go into the visiting area with you. All medication must be left at the entry area. This is one reason to arrive with as little as possible, and to keep anything prohibited (like electronics) out of your vehicle and belongings altogether.
By entering or attempting to enter Bureau of Prisons grounds, you consent to being searched under Bureau policy and federal regulations (including 28 C.F.R. Part 511). Refuse a search, and you will be prohibited from entering.
What this looks like in practice: Staff may search you and your belongings (bags, boxes, jackets, coats, even your vehicle or containers inside it) before you enter or while you are on the grounds.

- ✓ Revealing shorts
- ✓ Halter tops
- ✓ Bathing suits
- ✓ See-through garments of any type
- ✓ Crop tops

Dress code enforcement can be strict. Wear the wrong thing and you will be turned away. The safest approach: choose conservative, everyday clothing that is not revealing, not see-through, and does not resemble inmate clothing. If you are debating whether something is "too short" or "too low-cut," swap it out before you leave. Do not lose the visit at the door.
If you are refused for clothing: Call the facility before making the trip again to confirm the visiting schedule and avoid another wasted drive. USP Florence ADMAX's visiting page recommends calling 603-342-4000 before departing.
