What You Can't Bring to a Visit at USP Florence ADMAX (Prohibited Items, Medications, and Dress Code)
Before you travel to USP Florence ADMAX, call 603-342-4000 to confirm the visiting schedule. Schedules can change, and the Warden may restrict or cancel visits for safety and security reasons - severe weather, facility incidents, or other operational concerns.
USP Florence ADMAX follows the Bureau's visitor notification rules on "prohibited objects." The short version: if it could be used as a weapon, to record anything, to communicate, or as contraband - leave it behind. The prohibited list includes weapons, explosives, drugs and intoxicants, currency, and electronics like cameras, recording equipment, phones, radios, pagers, and other electronic devices.
- ✓ Weapons
- ✓ Explosives
- ✓ Drugs
- ✓ Intoxicants
- ✓ Currency
- ✓ Cameras of any type
- ✓ Recording equipment
- ✓ Telephones
- ✓ Radios
- ✓ Pagers
- ✓ Electronic devices
Reminder: If you show up with prohibited objects, staff can stop the visit before it starts. The safest move is to leave these items at home.
By entering - or even attempting to enter - Bureau grounds including USP Florence ADMAX, you're consenting to searches under Bureau policy and 28 C.F.R. Part 511. Staff may search you and your belongings before entry or while you're on the grounds. This includes bags, boxes, vehicles, containers in vehicles, jackets, and coats. Refuse a search, and you won't be allowed in.
- Assume you’ll be screened - entering or attempting to enter means you consent to searches under Bureau policy and 28 C.F.R. Part 511.
- Be ready for staff to check belongings - items like bags, boxes, jackets/coats, and even vehicles or containers in vehicles may be searched.
- Don’t argue or refuse a search - refusal can mean you’re not allowed onto Bureau grounds or into the facility.
If you carry any medications, you must list all types on the visitor form. Those medications must be left at the entry area rather than taken into the visit.
- ✓ Write down every medication you have with you on the visitor form
- ✓ Plan for your medications to be left at the entry area (not carried into the visiting area)
- ✓ Don’t “forget” any medication in a pocket, purse, or bag - list all types you’re carrying
What you wear matters. Clothing that's provocative or revealing can get you denied entry. Some facilities also reject outfits that resemble inmate clothing - khaki or green military-style clothing is a common example. When in doubt, go conservative. Better to be slightly overdressed than turned away at the door.
- ✓ Revealing shorts
- ✓ Halter tops
- ✓ Bathing suits
- ✓ See-through garments of any type
- ✓ Crop tops
- ✓ Low-cut blouses or dresses
- ✓ Leotards
- ✓ Spandex
- ✓ Miniskirts
- ✓ Backless tops
- ✓ Hats or caps
- ✓ Sleeveless garments
- ✓ Skirts two inches or more above the knee
