I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
That would depend a lot on circumstances.

Sorry, not by end of the business. My GUESS is that it is a good thing and they are preparing to release him, maybe into some sort of a pre-release program, near his address of record. That is, however, only an educated guess. I have almost zero experience with the federal system which is apparently what you are dealing with.

It would depend on the jurisdiction I expect. The Watch Commander, who in California is a Lieutenant, has operational control of the prison during non-business hours. I suspect it is the same in many other jurisdictions. The watch commander can ban a visitor pending review by higher authority, though must have at least some sort of reasoning to do so and there would be paperwork attached to such an action . Banning an employee from the grounds takes a higher authority than the watch commander (again in California.)

No idea. First I ever heard of it. My GUESS is they want to make real sure you bring whatever paperwork they sent you with you and maybe want to try to make sure you are actually coming from the address they sent the paperwork to. It doesn't really make much sense to me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Do most meteorologists believe global warming exists?
You don't. They recruit you generally speaking. You can let them know you are interested, but you can't just "join."

Sorry. Question is so general it makes no sense to me. Good and bad? Male and Female? Smart and Stupid? Young or old?
Share Answer: 
Yes. There is no prohibition (at least in California) on hiring friends an family of ex-convicts. It would have to be reported if that person is still on probation or parole. You could also count on a closer than usual background investigation. They would want to make sure that you were not a mole of some sort (such things do happen).
