Getting on the List

The prisoner sends you the Visitor Information form (BP-A0629). Mail it back to their counselor (no fax). The list holds immediate family and up to ten friends or other relatives, and visitors generally must have known the person before they went in.

Who Can Come

Up to three adults and three children at once. In the Special Housing Unit, two adults and two children. Visitors 16 and older show photo ID.

What to Bring

Everything goes in a clear plastic container no bigger than one cubic foot. Up to $60 in $1, $5 and $10 bills for vending. For babies: 3 bottles, 2 sealed jars of baby food, wipes, 5 diapers, a blanket and a change of clothes. No strollers, phones or food. Lockers are available.
