Bringing Kids to Visit at USP Florence: Age Rules and Supervision Requirements
Planning to bring children? USP Florence has specific age-based rules for supervision and when teens can visit without an adult.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult who stays with them the entire visit. That's on you - not staff, not the incarcerated person. Be ready to handle bathroom breaks, restlessness, and keeping kids in approved areas throughout your time there.
Teens aged 16 or 17 can visit without an adult, but they'll need written permission first. That permission must come from a parent, legal guardian, or an immediate family member over 18. Get this sorted before you arrive - showing up without it means getting turned away at check-in.
Play area rule: No inmates are allowed to enter the children’s play area at any time.
Practical Checklist
- ✓ If you’re bringing a child under 16, make sure a responsible adult is with them the entire visit and ready to provide close supervision.
- ✓ If a visitor is 16–17 and coming without a parent, legal guardian, or immediate family member over 18, bring written permission from one of those approved adults.
- ✓ Watch kids closely around the children’s play area and remember the incarcerated person cannot enter that space.
- ✓ Look for the directions and institution phone numbers that USP Florence provides with the visiting application so you can plan transportation and know who to call if you have a day-of problem.
