Plan your drive around this: Visitor processing starts 30 minutes before a unit's scheduled visiting period and stops 1 hour and 15 minutes before it ends, so everyone processed gets a full two hours. Anyone who leaves the visiting room cannot come back that day unless a lieutenant says so first.

Visiting hours and days
| Who | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Social visits | Wednesday through Sunday, including federal holidays. Each housing unit has its own day and time on a rotation. Ask your loved one for their unit's schedule. | 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. |
| Special Housing Unit (SHU) | First Wednesday of every month. One hour. | Ask the prison |

Visitor processing starts 30 minutes before a unit's scheduled visiting period and stops 1 hour and 15 minutes before it ends, so everyone processed gets a full two hours. Anyone who leaves the visiting room cannot come back that day unless a lieutenant says so first.
The visiting rules say inmates may visit Wednesday through Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday are set aside for attorneys. The rules say each unit gets a new rotation every 2 weeks. The schedule page (Attachment 6) is blank in the BOP's copy. Click here to read the source: GUA 5267.09 B, Visiting Regulations (October 16, 2018) ↗
The BOP's own papers disagree. Guaynabo's papers are old and disagree with each other. The visiting rules are dated October 16, 2018 (and marked draft). The handbook is dated 2011. Inside the rules: one place says each inmate has an unlimited number of visits on their schedule, another says two visits per month (except one unit); one place says visits last two hours, another says one hour each visiting day; one place says up to 10 friends on the list, another says 3 for pretrial people. The 2011 handbook says visits are every other week on an odd and even system based on the fifth digit of the register number. The unit schedule is not in the BOP's copy. Call 787-749-4480 before you travel and ask your loved one for their unit's day and time.

How to get on the visiting list
- At intake the unit team asks your loved one for a list of proposed visitors. Their counselor gives them the visiting rules and a Request for Visitor Approval.
- Immediate family is checked against the presentence report. Your loved one mails the visiting rules to everyone on their list.
- For anyone who is not immediate family, your loved one mails you the Visitor Information Form (BP-A0629). Fill it out, sign it and mail it directly to their counselor. Staff run a background check (NCIC).
- Friends and other relatives must have known them before prison, and staff must find it was a positive relationship. The Warden can approve an exception in writing. Anyone with a criminal record needs the Warden's approval.
- The counselor gives your loved one a written copy of the approved list. They tell you. Do not travel until you are approved.
- The rules give list sizes that differ by person: immediate family plus up to 10 other relatives, friends and associates; for pretrial, ICE and material witness inmates, immediate family plus up to 3. Ask their counselor which applies.
- For holdovers and people newly arrived, visits are limited to immediate family until a list is approved, usually within two weeks.
- The list can be changed by Inmate Request to Staff form: once a month in one place in the rules and quarterly in another.

How to send money to an inmate here
Money never goes to Guaynabo. It goes to the BOP, and the BOP puts it on their account. There are 3 ways. Each one below shows you the actual form and exactly what to write in each box, already filled in with their name and number.
First, they must sign the power-of-attorney form (BP-A0407) when they arrive. Until they do, MoneyGram and Western Union money cannot post. Click here to read the source: Program Statement 4500.13, Trust Fund/Deposit Fund Manual (May 7, 2026) ↗
1. Postal money order Our pick
"Postal" means the U.S. Post Office. A postal money order is one you buy at the counter of a U.S. Post Office, from the United States Postal Service. Money orders sold at Walmart, a grocery store, a bank, Western Union, MoneyGram or a check-cashing store are not postal money orders.
Why it matters: a postal money order has no hold. Once the BOP's lockbox in Des Moines gets it, it goes on their account. Every other money order and every personal or company check is put on a 15-day hold first, and the 15 days only start when the lockbox receives the envelope. Add the days it spends in the mail, and it can be close to three weeks before they can spend it.Click here to read the source: BOP, Sending money by U.S. mail ↗ Click here to read the source: MDC Guaynabo Unit Admission and Orientation Booklet (October 13, 2011) ↗ Foreign money orders and checks are held 45 days. The postal money order is also the cheapest way.
The Post Office's own steps
- Decide the amount. Up to $1,000 in one money order.
- Go to any Post Office.
- Bring cash or a debit card. The Post Office does not take credit cards for money orders.

- Pay the amount plus the fee: $2.65 for up to $500, $3.75 for $500.01 to $1,000.
- Keep your receipt. You need it to track the money order or replace it if it is lost.Click here to read the source: U.S. Postal Service, Money Orders ↗

Doing it online (Send2Corrections), screen by screen
You need a photo ID to set up the account: your name must match your ID exactly.
- Go to send2corrections.com or the Send2Corrections app. Log in or register.
- "Who are you sending to?" Choose the facility Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP DC).
- Receiver first name, middle name (optional), last name: exactly as the BOP has it.
- Commissary number: type only the 8 digits,
12345678. No dash, no name. The site adds the last name itself and shows the full account number in a grey box you cannot type in. - Ignore the pop-up that says "BOP number will not work." That text shows for every prison. The register number is what works.
- Amount: $1 to $300. Pay by card, or choose "Pay Cash (in-store)" and pay at a Western Union counter within 12 hours, or it cancels.
Hyphenated last name? The site drops the hyphen: Smith-Jones becomes 12345678SMITHJONES.
Money sent to the wrong person is not returned by Western Union. Western Union payments cannot be changed after they are sent.
Commissary: what they can spend
Guaynabo's 2011 booklet says there is a monthly spending limit of $200, validated by the fifth digit of the register number (multiplied by 3). Special purchase items, medications and stamps do not count. National BOP policy (PS 4500.13, May 7, 2026) is now $460 a month, plus $50 more in November and December. The 2011 limit is almost certainly out of date.

These are deaths the BOP announced in a press release; the date is the date of the release. We found no BOP press release announcing a death at Guaynabo after August 2022 (checked November 3, 2026). The BOP does not publish a full count of deaths at each prison, so this is not a total.
Sexual abuse audit (PREA)
The last federal sexual-abuse (PREA) audit visited Guaynabo July 22 to 24, 2025. Result: 3 standards exceeded, 42 met, 0 not met. In the 12 months before the audit, Guaynabo recorded 7 sexual-abuse allegations (6 against other inmates, 1 against staff) and 8 sexual-harassment allegations (7 against other inmates, 1 against staff).

An allegation is a report, not a finding. The audit counts reports made, not what investigators concluded.
