The inmate submits Form BP-A0629 (Visitor Information) for you to their counselor, who runs a background check before approving you. Members of the immediate family are ordinarily placed on the visiting list once the background check clears.
Visitors 16 and under aren't allowed unless accompanied by a legal guardian or an immediate family member 18 or older who's on the approved visiting list.
No tank tops, sleeveless clothing, or see-through tops. Shorts and skirts must cover the knee while standing (children 12 and under are exempt). No hats, bandanas, sweatbands, do-rags, or smartwatches, except religious head coverings.
