Visitor Dress Code

Little Sandy enforces a strict dress code. Staff have full discretion to deny entry if clothing does not comply. Visitors in violation may change into compliant clothing or will be turned away.

Prohibited clothing items:

• Shorts, dresses, or skirts more than 2 inches above the knee

• Clothing with obscene language, gang insignia, or offensive imagery
• Head coverings of any type (religious head coverings are permitted but subject to search)
• Appropriate undergarments are required and must not be visible

When in doubt, wear something conservative: slacks, a modest top, and closed-toed shoes.

What You Can Bring In

Visitors are limited in what they may bring into the visiting room:

• Up to $40 per inmate visited, in $1 bills and silver coins only. No $5, $10, or $20 bills.

Everything else must be left in your vehicle or in a facility locker. Items left inside the institution may be disposed of.

Physical contact is permitted at the start and end of each visit. One brief kiss and a hug are allowed at those points. Open-mouth kissing is not permitted. No holding hands during the visit. Sexual contact is strictly prohibited. There are no conjugal visits.

Children Rules

Children under 18 must be on the approved visitor list. They must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or another family member with written parental or guardian consent. If accompanied by a non-parent or non-guardian, the written consent must be signed and notarized.

Infants may be held by the inmate. All other children must remain seated or held by the visiting adult. Children must be under parental supervision at all times.
