USP YAZOO CITY, MS

Visiting at USP Yazoo City starts before you travel. You must be cleared by the Bureau of Prisons and added to the inmate's approved visiting list. Federal law guarantees inmates at least four hours of visiting time per month, though the warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors to prevent overcrowding. Approved visitors generally include relatives and other accepted associates, and facilities may allow up to 10 friends or associates on an inmate's list. When you arrive, expect to register, show a valid government-issued photo ID, sign a visitor log, and complete any required search or scanner screening. Dress conservatively. Inappropriate or provocative clothing can get your visit denied, and rule violations can lead to suspended visitation privileges.

Inmates at USP Yazoo City have Bureau of Prisons telephone privileges, but third-party or alternative call arrangements are prohibited. All phone calls are monitored, and a notice is posted at each telephone stating so. In most cases the inmate pays for calls, though sometimes the receiving party may be billed, and limits can be imposed. For electronic messaging, USP Yazoo City uses TRULINCS, a monitored, text-only system with no attachments and a 13,000-character limit per message. Before using phone, video, or messaging services, you'll need to register with the facility's approved communications service and set up payment or add funds through the approved portal.
