Who develops the visitors list for each inmate?

Preparation of The List of Visitors

(1) Staff shall ask each inmate to submit during the
admission-orientation process a list of proposed visitors. After
appropriate investigation, staff shall compile a visiting list
for each inmate and distribute that list to the inmate and the
visiting room officer.]
An inmate will be provided written material on the
institution’s visiting procedures during the intake screening
process. At a minimum, the information will include the
following:
! Facility address/phone number; directions to the
facility and information about local transportation;
! Days and hours of visitation;
! Approved dress code;
! Identification requirements for visitors;

! Items authorized in the visiting room;
! Special rules for children;
! Authorized items that visitors may bring to give to the
inmate, if applicable; and
! Special visit requirements.
Ordinarily, an initial visiting list is prepared and
distributed within the first few days of the inmate's arrival at
an institution. This list identifies immediate family members
approved to visit the inmate. Additional family members and
friends may be added following the completion of an appropriate
investigation.

Whenever a person is deleted from or added to an inmate's
visitor list, staff will update the list as soon as possible to
reflect the change. A copy of the most current approved visiting
list will be placed in section 3 of the Inmate Central File.

Staff shall notify the inmate of each approval or
disapproval of a requested person for the visiting list. Upon
approval of each visitor, staff shall provide the inmate with a
copy of the visiting guidelines and with directions for
transportation to and from the institution. The inmate is
responsible for notifying the visitor of the approval or
disapproval to visit and is expected to provide the approved
visitor with a copy of the visiting guidelines and directions for
transportation to and from the institution. The visiting
guidelines shall include specific directions for reaching the
institution and shall cite 18 U.S.C. 1791, which provides a
penalty of imprisonment for not more than twenty years, a fine,
or both for providing or attempting to provide to an inmate
anything whatsoever without the knowledge and consent of the
Warden.]
