You will have to be accompanied by an adult, preferably a relative.

This will be a bit of a lengthy process, but the mother of his children should hold a heavy advantage in the approval department. The ASPC is very good about the visitation and are going to find a way to approve you so that he may see his children. BUT, you must be as kind, humble and respectful when dealing with the warden's office. Do not come across as entitled...

Only with pre-approval from the warden

No, they just call the inmate to visitation

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.

Probably not but you could call the facility and ask to speak with the chaplain. Sometimes they have a way of getting the rules bent for visitiaton if the person asking is super-nice and humble.

For the reasons suggested, we think you might qualify for a "special visit". This is granted by the warder, but in times of human compassion or where medical treatment is necessary, the people that run these institutions are fair and humane.

You could visit him as long as you do not have a felony conviction on your record. Applying for permission is a very simple process.

It's pretty much standard for visitation in any jursidiction, if you have been an inmate or have a felony on your record you cannot visit.

We would advise that you not go to visitation without first seeking special permission from the warden's office. If you approach them first and explain your situation in the most humble manner, you have a 50/50 chance of getting to see him. If you explain after being turned down, your chances get worse.
