Immediate relatives (wife, children, parents, brothers, or sisters) will normally be approved for visits. Associates and friends may be approved for visits when it can be established that a constructive relationship existed prior to incarceration. Visiting lists will be prepared by the unit team upon request. The inmate is responsible for providing visitor information forms to any persons placed on his visiting list.

Each inmate is authorized no more than five adult visitors in the visiting room at any one time. Children will be limited to five per inmate; however, the behavior of children accompanying adult visitors will be the responsibility of the inmate and adult visitors. Children must remain within the supervision of an adult visitor at all times. All visitors, including children, must remain within the boundaries specified as visiting areas. Disturbances caused by an undisciplined child will result in termination of the visit. A portion of the FCI visiting room is set up as a playroom for children. It is the responsibility of the adult visitors to supervise the actions of their children. No food or drink items are permitted in the playroom. The playroom is considered out-of-bounds for inmates. Inmates are prohibited from entering the playroom at all times.

Inmates are responsible for informing all visitors of Bureau of Prisons policy regarding the introduction of contraband into the institution. Inmates are not allowed to give or receive any item from visitors in the visiting room.

All food and/or drink items at the FCI may only be purchased and consumed by visitors in a designated area. Inmates at the FCI are prohibited from consuming any food or drink during the visit, and they may not enter the designated visitor eating area. Once a visitor leaves the visiting area, the visit is terminated for that day. Inmates are not allowed to leave the visiting area to eat. Once an inmate leaves the visiting area, the visit will be terminated for that day. Handshaking, embracing, and kissing are permitted within the bounds of good taste and only at the beginning and at the end of the visit. During the visit, inmates and visitors are allowed only to hold hands, but no other physical contact is permitted.

Visits may be terminated, or a visitor may be turned around for reasons such as: national/institution emergency, inclement weather, failure to clear initial screening at the front entrance (i.e., metal detector, search, etc.), no documentation of visit approval, insufficient visiting points, misconduct on the part of the inmate or visitor, inappropriate dress, improper identification, and overcrowding.

Camp inmates must wait behind the wooden door which leads to foodservice until they are called for the visit by the camp officer. Inmates may not meet their visitors outside of the camp building or in the lobby area until they have been called by the camp officer. Camp visitors are permitted only in the institution parking lot and the area from the parking lot to the front entrance of the camp. All camp visits will be terminated inside the front door of the camp front entrance. Inmates are not allowed to accompany visitors to the parking area. Camp visitors must remain within the roped-off area when visiting in the outside area. All areas accessible to visitors are designated as non-smoking areas.

Visiting lists willbe compiled in accordance with procedures establishedin Program Statement 5267.08.

A visiting list will be established for each inmate. Immediate family members, mother, father, step-parents, foster parents, brothers, sisters, spouse, and children should be included on the list absent strong circumstances which preclude visiting. Ordinarily, the visiting list should not include more then ten friends and associates. Except for immediate family, visitors will not ordinarily be placed on more than one inmate’s approved visiting list.

Other potential visitors, such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, in-laws, cousins, and the mother of an inmate’s child are not considered immediate family and will not be allowed to visit until the inmate can complete a visiting list and have it approved. Exceptions require written approval from the captain or associate warden of programs.

Inmates recommitted as violators (parole, mandatory release, etc.) will not need to resubmit a list of proposed visitors if released from that sentence within the previous six months. The visiting list in the central file will remainvalid unless unit staff are aware of extenuating circumstances which could reasonably create a threat to the security and good order of the institution.

Established visiting lists on inmates transferred from other federal institutions will be recognized. Unit staff will review the visiting list with the inmate to ensure its accuracy. This review will also ensure no previously approved visitors pose a threat to the security and good order of the institution.

If, during the admission/orientation process, an inmate anticipates visits from immediate family members (i.e., spouse, children, parents, brothers, and sisters), he must submit their names to his assigned unit counselor.

Immediate family will be allowed to visit pending finalization of an approved visiting list unless there are strong circumstances which preclude their presence in the institution.

In the event an inmate receives a visit prior to his approved list being completed, the unit team will be contacted by visiting room staff to find out if the visitors are on the immediate family list provided by the inmate. If the unit team is not available, the operations lieutenant or duty officer will be the deciding authority.

Upon completion of the admission/orientation program, a permanent list, to include immediate family, other relatives, or friends, will be prepared.
The unit team will make sure visiting lists are kept current. Copies of current visiting lists will be provided by the unit team to front entrance of the FCI and at the main entrance of the camp, to be used when the computer visiting program is inoperable. Original copies of the visiting list will be maintained in the inmate’s central file.

The unit team, based on the results of their review of the visitor’s questionnaire and background information obtained from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), will determine who will be placed on the inmate’s visiting list.

In accordance with Program Statement 5267.08, the Warden may deny visiting privileges. If the background information reveals information that may preclude the proposed visitor from placement on the inmate’s visiting list, or if the inmate did not have an established relationship with the individual prior to his incarceration, the unit team will complete and route attachment F through the associate warden of programs to the warden for his approval/disapproval.

Unit staff will provide inmates with copies of the visiting regulations (attachment D for FCI inmates and attachment E for camp inmates) to mail to their approved visitors.

At the warden’s discretion,exceptions to the prior relationship requirement may be made if the inmate has very few visitors on his list and the visitor does not pose any threat to the security or orderly running of the institution. This exception will be documented using attachment F.

When an inmate requests a change to his visiting list, and the requested change conforms to Program Statement 5267.08, unit staff will make the change and forward a copy of the new list to the front entrance of the FCI and the main entrance at the camp for inclusion in the inmate’s visiting file.

After the inmate’s initial list has been prepared and approved, inmates are authorized to request changes to the list through their respective unit team.
In accordance with the program statement for inmate central files, the inmate’s unit manager will ensure that visiting files of inmates no longer housed at El Reno are retrieved and placed in the inmate’s central file.

Inmates are permitted to have a wedding ring, prescription glasses/case, head band, religious medallion, heartor asthma medication, and tennis shoes or work shoes.

Visitors are prohibited from bringing food/drink items, pictures, packages, letters, money over $100, gift items, or other contraband into the visiting room. Tobacco products are also prohibited. It is illegal for any person or persons to introduce contraband or attempt to introduce contraband that threatens the order, discipline, or security of the institution, into or upon the grounds of any Federal penal institution or to take or attempt to take, or send anything whatsoever without the knowledge or the consent of the warden or his appointed representatives. The law provides that a penalty of 20 years or a $250,000 fine, or both, may be imposed upon violators of this law.

Inmate visitors will provide a minimum of one form of photo identification (i.e., valid state driver’s license, state identification card, or federal identification card).

FCI and FPC El Reno use a point system to ensure all inmates have equal access to the visiting room. Visiting points are not cumulative from month to month. Any portion of an hour used will be considered one hour of visiting. Points will be recorded using the inmate visiting program through BOPWare.

At the FCI, inmates begin each month with 32points.
No more than 20 points may be used forweekend/holiday visiting.
One point will be deducted for each hour ofvisiting during the month for weekday visits.

Holdovers and new commitments: When an approved visiting list is not available, visits for new commitments (A&O) and inmates in holdover status may be authorized by the Operations Lieutenant or theDuty Officer. These visits will be limited to members of the immediate family and can be extracted from the inmate’s pre-sentence report. These persons include father, mother, stepparents, foster parents, brother and sister, spouse, and children. If the PSI is not available for review, the visit will be denied.

Refer to the Program Statement on Victim and Witness Notification for procedures when a Victim/Witness Program (VWP) inmate requests to place a victim or witness on his or her visiting list.

Refer to the Central Inmate Monitoring System Operations Manual (Limited Official Use) for procedures when an inmate in the Witness Security Program (WITSEC) requests to place an individual on his or her visiting list.

Seating Space. At the FCI, the front entrance officer will coordinate with the visiting room officer regarding the amount of seating space available in the visiting room. When seating is less than the number of persons in a group for a visit, the visitors in the group will be so informed. The visitors must depart the institution, however, they may return at a later time. Visitors will not be allowed to wait in their vehicles. The rated capacity of the FCI visiting room is 133 persons. The rated capacity of the Camp visiting room is 57 persons. However, there is an outside designated visiting area which increases the overall capacity.

No more than five adult visitors, not including children, will be permitted foreach inmate at any given time. Children will be limited to five per inmate.

When the visiting room becomes overcrowded, the visiting room officer will notify the operations lieutenant and/or the institution duty officer (IDO).

The visiting room officer will compile a list of those visitors listing an address within a fifty mile radius of the El Reno area.

After the list has been compiled, the operations lieutenant and/or IDO will privately explain the overcrowded situation to the local visitors and ask for volunteers to terminate their visits.

Should this method prove ineffective, the operations lieutenant and/or IDO will notify the first five groups on the list for that day that their visits have been terminated due to overcrowded conditions. Should mandatory termination become necessary, consideration will be given to locality and frequency of visits. The operations lieutenant and/or IDO will terminate no less than five groups, and no more than is deemed necessary, to eliminate the overcrowded conditions.

If weather causes overcrowded conditions at the camp, the operations lieutenant and/or IDO will be advised of the situation and they will follow the aforementioned guidelines.

Visitors to the FCI will proceed to the front entrance building where they will be processed for visiting. Camp visitors will enter through the front entrance of the camp.

Visits are permitted to those individuals on the inmate’s approved visiting list as authorized by the inmate’s unit team. It is the responsibility of the inmate to advise his friends and family not to visit prior to the inmate receiving notification from the unit team that they have been authorized as visitors.

Visitors sixteen years of age and over must have valid proof of their identity with them such as a drivers license, state issued identification card, INS card, military identification or passport. Any form of unofficial photo identification (credit cards, store cards, school identification, birth certificates, Social Security card, bank cards,etc.) is an invalid form of identification. If a visitor does not present a current identification with a photograph, they will not be authorized to visit. (Foreign drivers licenses are considered valid proof of identification.)

Children under the age of 16 may not visit unless accompanied by a responsible adult and must be kept under supervision of a responsible adult. Exceptions in unusual circumstances may be made by special approval of the IDO or operations lieutenant.

If the visitor does not have the required identification, the front entrance officer will consult with the operations lieutenant. In cases where identification cannot be
established, the operations lieutenant or IDO will be the authorized staff member to deny the visit. The denying official will advise the prospective visitor of the reason for the denial.

The visitor’s identification will be held bythe visiting room officers during the visit.

All visitors will be properly attired when coming into the institution to visit inmates. Visitors (including minors) wearing sexually provocative clothing will be prohibited from admission to the institution visiting room. Female visitors must wear a brassiere and other undergarments without any exception.

A visit may be terminated in order to maintain good taste and consideration for others. Questionable attire will be referred to the Institution Duty Officer prior to denial of the visit. Visitors over age ten may not wear miniskirts, halter tops, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, backless shirts/dresses, body suits, hiphuggers, see-through clothing, or clothing which ends at the knee or above.

After the visitor’s identity has been determined using a valid form of identification, i.e., valid state or government issued form of identification, he/she will be directed to complete the notification to visitor form. The front entrance officer will ensure this form is properly prepared to include the visitor’s complete name, address, telephone number, vehicle information, state license tag number, date and time of the visit, and front entrance officer’s signature.

Visitors entering the institution are subject to search. Visitors are prohibited from bringing food items, pictures, packages, letters, money over $100.00, gifts, or other contraband items into the visiting room. If there is reason to believe that materials are being passed which may constitute contraband, or otherwise be inviolation of policy, laws, rules, and federal regulations, the material will be confiscated and the visit will be terminated by the operations lieutenant and/or IDO. All other questionable cases will be referred to the administrative duty officer.

A visitor who needs to use a locker will be issued a key by the front entrance officer, and will be required to sign a ledger recording the date, time, name, locker number, and issued locker key. Upon completion of the visit, the visitor will return the key to the front entrance officer. Lockers are only to be used for visitors who are dropped off.

The front entrance officer must ensure all items are thoroughly searched before they are permitted inside the secure perimeter of the FCI. Any visitor who refuses to allow themselves or anything in their possession to be searched will not be permitted to enter the institution.

The front entrance officer will record the visit in the visiting program, and the operations lieutenant or the duty officer will be informed in order to deny the visit.

If a visitor activates the walk-through metal detector and the cause of the activation cannot be determined, the visitor will be required to submit to a transfrisker (hand¬held unit) search. Every effort should be made by the visitor to clear the walk-through metal detector.

After each visitor to the FCI has been properly identified and processed, a fluorescent stamp will be affixed to a predetermined location on one of each visitor’s hand (including children). The visitor’s hands will be checked with the ultra-violet light (black light) upon entering and leaving the institution to assist in verifying their identity.

The visiting room officers will ensure each visitor’s hand is checked with the black light prior to leaving the visiting room.

Ultra-violet lights (black lights) will be stationed at the front entrance, front lobby, visiting room, rear entrance, and any other locations deemed appropriate by the captain.

The front entrance officer will maintain current visiting files of approved visitors.

At the camp, the camp officers will maintain the current visiting files of approved visitors.

Inmates will not be permitted to leave the visiting room to go to the dining hall, commissary, or any other institutional services, and then return. Once an inmate leaves the visiting room, his visit is terminated and he will not be permitted to reenter the visiting room that day.

Should staff feel a need for assigned seating, staff may place inmates in areas of closer supervision. Assigned seating may be invoked based on past documented instances of inappropriate inmate conduct in the visiting room or history of contraband introduction.

The behavior of children accompanying adult visitors will be the responsibility of the inmates and adult visitors. Children must remain within the boundaries specified as visiting areas, and must remain within the supervision of an adult visitor at all times. Disturbances caused by an undisciplined child will result in the termination of the visit.

Upon approval, the memorandum will be forwarded to the escorting officers at the local hospital.

Special Housing Unit Inmates
Inmates housed in the Special Housing Unit will receive full visiting privileges, unless their visiting has been restricted or their conduct dictates otherwise. If their visiting privileges have been revoked or suspended, documentation will be placed in the inmate’s central file and also entered into the visiting program.

Inmates housed in SHU will sit in a designated location in the visiting room as determined by the visiting room officers. In cases deemed appropriate, visiting may be conducted in SHU. These visits will be held in the disciplinary hearing room.

The associate warden of programs is the delegated authority for approving special visits of ordained ministers and spiritual guides (other than the inmate’s minister of record).

If a minister visits an inmate as a friend rather than in an official capacity, he/she must be on the inmate’s approved visiting list. Ministers appearing on an inmate’s regular visiting list will not be permitted to attend volunteer religious programs.

No volunteers will be permitted on an inmate’s approved visiting list.

Under normal circumstances, investigators from federal and state investigative agencies will coordinate visits with inmates with the special investigative supervisor (SIS).

The SIS will coordinate the visit with the inmate’s unit team, who in turn will select a suitable location for the visit.

If the visiting official is an FBI agent who routinely visits the institution, no subsequent notifications are required.

If a visit has not been pre-arranged, the front entrance officer will contact the SIS. The operations lieutenant will be advised of all investigative official visits.

In the event the visit occurs after normal visiting hours, the operations lieutenant will coordinate the visit.

Representatives (attorneys, family members, friends, etc.) of inmates will be allowed to visit on the day of the inmate’s scheduled hearing before the U. S. Parole Commission and/or theImmigration Review Panel.

Prior arrangements must be made. The front entrance officer will notify the inmate’s unit team of any individual claiming to be a representative for an inmate.
