Visitor Checklist

There are a few things you should remember to be prepared for your visit, please look over the following checklist:

• Confirm that the inmate has visitation privileges and has not been transferred to another facility.
• Bring current photo identification, like a driver’s license or passport.
• If you have made special arrangements with the facility, call before leaving to ensure that plans for your visit have been made and are in place.
• Check clothing and jewelry for compliance with the dress code.
• If you are bringing a child and you are not the legal guardian or parent, be sure you have a notarized statement from the child’s parent or legal guardian.
• Before leaving home, check your vehicle for contraband and/or hazardous items and be sure to remove these items before entering prison grounds.
• Double check the visiting schedule, so you arrive on the designated day during proper visiting hours.
• Leave purses, wallets, and electronic devices in the glove compartment or in the trunk of your car. Do not leave minor children waiting in the car or your visit will be ended.
• Do not have any contraband on you when you enter the facility.
• Do not bring anything into the visiting room to give to the offender. Offenders are not permitted to take anything from the visiting area.

Dress Code

Visitors should wear modest clothing with appropriate undergarments, comfortable footwear (bare feet are not allowed) and weather appropriate attire when necessary. If you do not wear appropriate clothing, you will not be allowed to visit. 

Please be sure to understand the dress code. It will help to have a change of clothing with you if you have any reservations about the clothing you are wearing.

Some head wraps may have to be removed in order for you to pass through the metal detector successfully. Jewelry may make the detector go off, so remove anything questionable and carry it with you into the processing area and put it back on later. If you are wearing hair pins and/or an underwire bra that makes the metal detector go off, you will be asked to remove them so you can visit your inmate.

Zippers, metal studs, and decorations can also set the detector off. If this happens, you may be asked to go into the bathroom, take off the clothing, put on alternative articles of clothing provided by the Department that are kept there for those purposes. 

You will go through the detector again until you make it through successfully. It is a good idea to wear simple clothing to make things easy. If in doubt, don’t wear it.

The following clothing is not allowed in the visiting room:

• See-through (sheer) clothing, bare midriffs or backs
• Plunging necklines, short shorts, athletic shorts, low tops, or backless tops or dresses.
• Shorts or skirts shorter than mid-thigh are not allowed.
• Bathing suits
• Attire displaying obscene/offensive, derogatory language or drawings, or promoting illegal activity.
