How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
To visit someone at USP Yazoo City, you'll need to get on the approved visiting list by completing the BP‑A0629 Visitor Information form. The form asks for basic identification and relationship details, and it warns that background inquiries may be made. Be accurate—false statements can carry criminal penalties under federal law. Visiting is generally scheduled on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, but confirm the current days and hours on the facility's BOP page before you travel. When you arrive, expect to register, present a valid photo ID, sign in, and submit to any required searches. Inmates are entitled to at least four hours of visiting time per month, though the Warden may limit visit length or the number of visitors for management reasons. Transportation is on you; the facility doesn't reimburse travel.
