You'll need to be on the approved visitor list before you can book, so get that squared away first. Time slots fill up fast, so book early. Bring valid ID and be ready to meet check-in requirements. One more thing: mail containing contraband or explicit/weapon-related content may be rejected or destroyed, and it can affect your visitation privileges or lead to prosecution.
