My bf just got to Big Sandy, Kentucky, plz tell me about this facility and its visitation, if you are familiar with. What should I do(n't) do before I visit and or write? Thank you in Advance

Big Sandy is either a United States Penitentiary with the federal BOP system or Big Sandy Regional Detention Center. The USP is far more strict and a tougher road for an inmate. Visitation might be tough the first time around. You get searched thoroughly and the visits are under heavy supervision. They are non-contact visits. It is highly recommended that prior to an inmate visit you call the jail or penitentiary to confirm that visits have not been cancelled.
