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.
