We are working on gathering updated information on visitation and other policies for all ADOC facilities - for now here are the general rules for visitation at most Alabama prisons.


Visitation Rules: The same as all Alabama prison facilities.
No shorts, sweat pants, strapless, spaghetti string tops, and tank tops.
Nothing tight-fitting/form-fitting.
ABSOLUTELY NO SOLID WHITE OR LIGHT COLORS.
No short skirts or dresses with high splits.
Slips must be worn under skirts and dresses.
Underwear must be worn - and they do check.
No caps or hats.
All eyewear must be prescription; no sunglasses.
Must have a photo ID - driver’s license, work ID, etc.
Jewelry rules vary at different facilities - moderate at some, wedding rings only at others.
$20-30 in change can be taken in for use in vending machines - your prisoner can find out beforehand or take $20 to be on the safe side.

Do not take anything in with you, besides the change for the vending machines, except photo ID and car keys.

Smoking is allowed outdoors at visitation for most Alabama prisons; tobacco products must be purchased in the facility's vending machines.

this is what the DOC's Web Site has to say about it, but each facility has different rules...if seems as if the ADOC is making an attempt to have all the prison follow the same fules, but i just don't see the wardens all doing the same thing...guess we will see...
