Visitation hours at Beaumont Medium Federal Prison are normally on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 am to 3 pm, as well as Fridays from 5 pm to 8 pm. For Saturdays and Sundays, visitors will have to arrive before 2 pm so they can be properly processed.

However, as of September 21, 2020, there are no more visitation hours available Fridays. Only Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 8:30 am to 3 pm.

The inmates are given 12 visiting points at the start of every month. Two points get deducted for every holiday or weekend visit and one point gets deducted for each weekday visit. Every visitor must obtain an approved visitor’s application or have one on file prior to their visitation and you are only allowed five visitors at one time.

To visit an inmate, you should first search their Inmate Register Number using this tool on the facility’s website. Sometimes, inmates can be moved to another facility for the unique programs offered at that location or to get medical treatment.

Those who wish to visit an inmate have to be pre-approved, which means you will need to be cleared by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and you must be on the inmate’s visiting list. Those who can be put on their visiting list are people like:

• Father
• Mother
• Guardians
• Siblings
• Children
• Spouse
• Relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents)
• Up to ten friends/associates
• Religious group members
• Civic group members
• Foreign officials
• Employers
• Parole advisors
• Lawyers

When inmates first enter prison or are transferred to another one, they may not be able to create a visiting list. If this is the case, those who can be proven by the offender’s Pre-Sentence Report to be immediate family members can be permitted to visit. It is always a good idea to always call the facility before visiting to be sure.

For those that received a Visitor Information Form from an inmate, you will have to fill out the form fields not already done by the inmate and send it back to them. There should be an address located on the form which will be the inmate’s address that you can send the form to.

Your Visitor Form will then be reviewed and the inmate will be told whether or not the form was approved. Then, it is up to the inmate to notify you of the status of the form.

Dress Code for Visitors

Visitors must wear clothes that are appropriate to wear around men, women, and younger children. Wearing any of these types of clothing in the visiting room could cause your visitation to be denied.

An inmate is allowed, by law, at least four visitation hours per month. Typically, the prison can allow for more, but it is up to the warden to restrict visit lengths of visits or the amount of people visiting at once.

During the visit, both the inmate and visitor should keep the visit quiet and dignified as to not disturb any other visitations going on nearby. If either the visitor or inmate begin acting disorderly, the visit can be cut short.

As for physical contact, most hugs, handshakes, and kisses are permitted so long as they are not overly affectionate and disturb others. Staff can also limit contact if needed to prevent possible contraband from being brought in or to keep the visitation room orderly.

Federal Offender Lookup

The Federal Offender Lookup can be found here and it allows you to find an inmate by name or by registration number if they were released before 1982. The information that will come up if your search is successful will be the inmates:

• Name
• Register Number
• Age
• Race
• Sex
• Release Date
• Location

Most of this information is self-explanatory but the release date can show up with a few different results. More times than not, the release date of their sentence will show up for a full sentence (the inmate could be released earlier though, due to parole or good conduct).

If the release date is in the past and there is not a location specified in the next search field, the inmate is no longer in BOP custody but could be on house arrest or something of the sort.

Location can also show up with a few different results. If an inmate is still in BOP custody, the address of their facility will show up but if they were released, the location should show up as “RELEASED”.

Sending Money to An Inmate

Beaumont Medium Federal Prison will give every prisoner the minimum for personal hygiene items, clothing, and feed them three times per day. These are just the bare essentials though and sending an inmate money can greatly help their comfort level while at the facility.

• United States Postal Service

You must not send money using the prison’s address and all money sent through mail has to be addressed to the address listed below. This address is a processing center where your money will go first to be redistributed to the proper place:

Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP)
Inmate name
Inmate number
P.O. Box 474701
Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001

If you are experiencing any trouble or have questions about this process, a guide is provided here that explains the process in detail.

The other ways to send an inmate money are electronically and these ways are becoming much more popular because of their convenience. There are two electronic ways to send money in total.

• MoneyGram

You can use MoneyGram to send inmates money electronically. Money is processed and received seven days a week and sent between 7am to 9pm EST, which is then posted within two to four hours. If funds are sent past 9pm, they will be posted the following morning at 7am.

Before you send money to an inmate through MoneyGram, first, make sure that you wait until they physically arrive at the prison. You will need to gather the inmate’s full name and their eight-digit register number as well.

You will need to finish a MoneyGram ExpressPayment Blue Form which will require you to fill in the following information:

• The inmate’s eight-digit register number
• The inmate’s full name
• Company Name (This will always be Federal Bureau of Prisons)
• City & State (This will always be Washington, DC)
• Receive Code (This will always be 7932)
• Western Union

Using the Quick Collect Program from Western Union you can send money to inmates electronically. Western Union has a form on their website devoted to sending inmates money, which you can access directly right here.

Funds are processed in the same time frames as MoneyGram (7am to 9pm seven days a week) and you will need to know the inmate’s full name, register number, and the code city (this is always FBOP, DC)

The money that inmates receive can be saved or spent on emails, phone calls, or commissary. The commissary is where offenders are allowed to buy pleasantries like snacks, beverages, items for personal hygiene, over the counter medications, and other various things to make their life more comfortable.

Stay on the lookout for any suspicious activity and how much money is being spent by the inmate, however. This money can be used to buy products from the commissary that can be traded for drugs or other contraband that are smuggled in by other inmates.

Calling an Inmate

Third-party call arrangements are not permitted to any inmate but they are allowed telephone privileges to keep in contact with loved ones and their community. Usually, the inmate pays for these calls, but in some cases the receiver can also pay.

Inmates have to only call approved numbers but to get a number approved, all they must do is add that phone number and contact to their TRULINCS contact list. Inmates can also receive and send emails through this method as well.
