Photo ID or No Visit

Every adult needs government photo ID. No photo ID, no visit.

Children

• No one under 18 visits without a custodial parent or legal guardian present. The person held does not count as the custodial parent.
• Children need ID: a birth certificate, citizenship papers, passport, non-driver ID or NY State Safe Child ID.
• The adult proves the relationship with a birth certificate listing them or a court custody order.

Who Can Come

Up to two visitors per visit, going in together. Two children aged 5 and under can go in with one adult; children over 5 count as a visitor. Leave the visit and you cannot return to it.

Dress Code

Not allowed: see-through clothing, bare midriffs or backs, spaghetti straps, short or athletic shorts, bathing suits, layered clothing, hooded sweatshirts or sweaters, removable metal items, jackets of any kind, hats, and bare feet. Remove excessive jewelry and large belt buckles before you come.

Leave It in the Locker

No baby blankets (dress children warmly), drinks, snacks, key rings, purses, outerwear or children’s toys. Lockers cost 25 cents.

Metal Detector

Everyone clears the metal detector right before going in, and an officer uses a hand wand for anything that cannot come off.

The Three Days Without Visits

There are no visits on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays. On those days, Pigeonly prints a letter or photos you send from your phone and mails them to the jail in Wampsville.
