Emails are monitored and screened for content not suitable for them.

Admissions and Orientation Handbook

Your first day in prison, you are bombarded with a ton of information. One booklet you will be giving is the Admissions and Orientation (A&O) Handbook. 

This handbook will supply you with general information about the prison itself alongside the prison’s rules, programs, and regulations you will have to follow while you are serving out your sentence. 

It will be in your best interest to familiarize yourself with handbook as it is your responsibility to transition smoothly to prison life. 

The handbook is in English and in Spanish.

Commissary

The commissary was founded in 1930 by the Department of Justice. The Commissary was placed in all Federal Institutions. 

The commissary allows inmates to shop for “luxury” items while they are in prison. Funds are typically deposited by their friends, families, and their prison jobs. 

Inmates have a spending limit of $360 per month. The commissary is only open on a designated day of the week where they can utilize the shop. 

All federal prisons have their commissary list with prices available to the public.

Legal Activities

Even when in prison, you may still need legal counsel. There are strict procedures one will have to follow to obtain legal reference materials alongside their legal counsel.

There are also many opportunities to be taken advantage of to afford the proposal of legal documents when behind bars.  

All procedures for legal activities can be located here.

Visitation

Inmates are permitted 6 visits from family and friends a month. Visitation hours are Friday, Saturday, Sundays, and Federal Holidays from 8:30am to 3pm.

Visitors must be on the inmate’s approval list before they can visit. The inmate will need to do this for you. Visitors will need to adhere to dress code. The dress code prohibits the following:

• See-Through Clothing
• Miniskirts
• Tank tops
• Offensive clothing
• Revealing clothing

If you do not follow dress code, you will be refused visitation. You will also need to have your government ID; all adults will need that. Minors can come, but they will need to be accompanied by their legal guardians.

You will be able to give the inmate a hug and a kiss at the beginning and end of the visit. All other touching will be prohibited.
