How to Contact an Inmate at USP Florence (CO)

USP Florence's visiting room hours are straightforward for weekends and federal holidays. Visits are permitted from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. Weekday visiting hours aren't included in the published schedule, so don't assume the same window applies Monday through Friday.

Planning a video conference visit? Build in a hard stop. All video conference visits at USP Florence end 30 minutes before the institution's regular closing time. That cutoff is tied to whatever the facility's normal closing time is on that day, not necessarily the end of visiting room hours.

A prior criminal conviction doesn't automatically bar you from visiting USP Florence. Staff will review the conviction, but you'll need specific approval from the Warden before a visit can happen. If this applies to you, plan for extra time and additional verification before you show up.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Plan in-person visits for Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
• ✓ For video conference visits, schedule with the understanding that the visit ends 30 minutes before the institution’s regular closing time.
• ✓ If you have a prior criminal conviction, expect a staff review and do not plan to visit until Warden approval is in place.

• ✓ For video conference visits, account for the rule that they end 30 minutes before the institution’s regular closing time. Plan your start time so you are not cut short.

• ✓ If you have a prior criminal conviction, be ready for a review process and the need for Warden approval before the visit happens.

If you need to visit outside the published weekend and holiday schedule, confirm those hours directly. The only documented times are Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Call ahead to check whether weekday visits are offered and whether the schedule shifts around special dates.

Before scheduling a video visit, ask for the institution's regular closing time on the day you want to connect. Video conference visits end 30 minutes before that closing time, so it determines your latest possible end time. Also confirm whether there are any additional video-visit timing limits that could affect your schedule.

If you have a prior conviction, nail down the exact approval process before making plans. USP Florence requires Warden approval for visits in that situation, even though the conviction itself doesn't automatically disqualify you. When you call, ask what documentation they need and how long approval typically takes. The last thing you want is to travel there and get turned away.

1. Review the official USP Florence visiting information: Look for the published visiting hours (weekend and federal holiday hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and any notes that affect timing.
2. Call to confirm timing details: Verify the current visiting schedule and confirm the institution’s regular closing time so you can calculate the video-visit cutoff (30 minutes before closing).
3. Ask about visitor approval if you have a conviction: Confirm what documents are required and the expected timeline, since Warden approval is required before those visits can occur.
