Legal visits at FCI II Victorville sometimes come with extra availability, depending on who the facility is housing. Here's how to confirm the schedule and coordinate your visit.

• 2 min read Verified from official sources

FCI II Victorville offers an expanded legal visiting schedule at certain times. When the facility is housing United States Marshals Service (USMS) inmates, legal visiting runs Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. That weekday window is on top of the facility's normal visiting times, which makes it a useful option if you need to meet during the workweek or you're working around a tight court deadline.

To schedule a legal visit at FCI II Victorville, email the facility's legal visit mailbox: VIX-LegalCallVisitUSMS-S@bop.gov. This is the most direct way to start the process and confirm timing.

FCI II Victorville requires documentation proving you are an attorney in good standing with a Federal or State bar. You can satisfy this by providing a printout of your current status from the bar's website, or by completing form BP-A0241 (Visiting Attorney Statement). Along with that proof, you'll need to submit a written request to visit to the inmate's Unit Manager for approval. The facility accepts that request by fax or by mail.

  • ✓ Proof you are an attorney in good standing (printout of your status from the bar web page, or completed BP-A0241, Visiting Attorney Statement)
  • ✓ A written request to visit addressed to the inmate’s Unit Manager
  • ✓ Send the documentation to the Unit Manager by fax or by mail for approval
  1. Arrive and explain the urgency - On-site verification is used in time-sensitive situations, such as when you arrive without prior approval or you are not listed on the visiting list.
  2. Present the requested credentials - The Operations Lieutenant or Duty Officer may ask for a current bar card, the state where you are licensed, and a government-issued photo ID.
  3. Allow time for online verification - Staff may attempt to verify your good-standing status through online resources.
  4. Confirm the case meets the threshold - Approval through this on-site method is limited to bona fide attorneys with current pending litigation within 10 days.

Note: On-site verification is limited to bona fide attorneys with pending litigation within 10 days. Whenever possible, get prior approval rather than relying on same-day verification.

BOP Program Statement PS 1315.07 requires that inmates have reasonable access to legal materials and a reasonable opportunity to prepare legal documents. This policy supports the broader framework for legal visiting and attorney coordination, particularly when an inmate needs to work with counsel on filings or case deadlines.
