USP Victorville

Visiting at USP Victorville starts with pre-approval. Submit the WebV Visitor Information form so staff can run background checks and determine whether you'll be added to the inmate's approved visiting list. Bring a valid state or government photo ID (the same details you used in WebV), since staff may verify it against WebV records at entry. An inmate's visiting list can include up to 20 people. The visiting room allows four approved visitors at a time, plus up to three children under ten as long as they don't take a seat. At check-in, you'll read and sign BP-A0224 and the visitor log. Keep personal items minimal: a clear bag, your ID, up to $20 in coins, and essential medication. Property is inventoried on entry and exit. Contraband, weapons, or appearing under the influence can get you turned away. Call the facility to confirm the schedule before you travel.

Staying in touch with someone at USP Victorville typically means phone, video, or approved messaging platforms. The facility uses TRUFONE for inmate telephone calls. Call recordings are kept temporarily and deleted after 180 days unless retained for legal or administrative purposes. Standard audio calls from institution phones or tablets are generally free. For video visits or electronic messaging, you'll need to create an account on the department communications platform (web or mobile), register for the service, and add funds through the app's prepaid feature when required. Because the state is transitioning systems and some institutions may still use an older provider, confirm which platform USP Victorville currently supports. Verify schedules by contacting the facility before you plan a visit.

Don't mail money to the USP Victorville street address. For federal inmates, any funds sent through the mail must go to the BOP processing center in Des Moines, Iowa. Before you deposit, double-check the person's full name and booking or ID number, then confirm which deposit methods are accepted (often an online or mobile portal, phone deposits, or a lobby kiosk, depending on the system used). Skip cash. Use a U.S. Postal money order or an approved electronic option, and follow the vendor's instructions so the funds post correctly and you can track them. One thing to keep in mind: when you send money, your name, home address, or financial information will be shared with the BOP and commissary system. If you submit TRUFACS files or BP 199 forms, scanned copies are destroyed 90 days after verification.
