- You cannot apply while the person is still in reception.
- Once approved, fill out the Visitation Scheduling form each week, between Monday 5:00 AM and Wednesday 5:00 PM ET.
- Regular visiting is Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET.
Schedules change. Call the facility or check FDC before every trip.
Mail and phone
- Routine mail goes to the central scanning center, not the prison: Inmate's last name, first name, DC#, PO Box 23608, Tampa, FL 33623. It is delivered electronically. [FDC mail]
- Legal and privileged mail still goes to the institution. Since September 15, 2025, legal mail needs an attorney registration number and tracking number.
