When i go to pick joe up from ventress on monday, do i have to dress as if i were visiting him....i will be in my motor home and have plenty to change into but i wanted to wear shorts cause in the summer imjust not a pants person....anyone know the deal on that i just hate to have to be told to go change course im not feeling as bad for me as i did for the "great tampon caper" but still ya know

Thought about wearing a t-shirt that says PTO welcomes ADOC to kiss our ashes!! im a very bad girl!! lmao

Hmm...don't know...I would think since you were goin' to pick him up...it wouldn't matter WHAT you wore (as long as you wore SOMETHING:haha: )...but who knows!!!!
I just basically wanted to say I'm so happy that you are actually gettin' to go pick him up!!! :yay:
huggs,
Selena
BTW: I like your t-shirt idea...can I have one???? :D

Have you thought about what you are bringing HIM to wear? When we ever get to the day when I will be bringing James his freedom clothes, my 19 year old daughter suggested renting him a tux. lol. Since he is not a showy kind of person, when I suggested it to him, he said "Well, maybe just one of those t-shirts that LOOKS like a tux. I really love the idea!! As for me, I considered dressing to the nines.....but on second thought, realized I should wear something that will be easy to get out of. lol.

Just to put your mind at ease, my two cent's worth of suggestion is to just wear something you know they won't mess with you over. You'll have enough things to think about without wondering if you are gonna tick somebody off if they got up on the wrong side of the bed and just feel like taking it out on somebody!

hugs.....

Ragland, you still have to follow visitation dress code at Limestone, so I would assume that they are all the same. I know of one instance where a lady came to pick up her husband, and had on a button up dress, they made her wait in the car. they want control over us all the way to the end.
lol, we all need a t-shirt like that

Sue, this is what I mean when I say that it would be so much easier if rules and regs were CONSISTENT. I know about the buttons up the skirt and even if there isn't a SEAM....and the buttons are decorative only.......can't wear it.

But then on Saturday (or was it Sunday, I forgot) in the visiting room, there is this woman with a button up skirt on. WITH a seam, it was obvious. I've even seen women wear not only a button-up skirt but one that is UNBUTTONED almost all the way up to her POI (point of interest). And yet once when I went there with a friend of mine who is anything but trying to be sexy, she had on a new denim button-up dress and was turned away and had to drive home (35 miles) to get something else.\ because there were buttons. This is a woman who was at that prison every weekend for about 6 years and never had any problems. She simply forgot the button rule that time cuz she was so excited about getting this dress at a great price and couldn't wait to show her husband.

The prison is in a verrrrry tiny town and nowhere to "run to" and buy something to wear except the local grocery store where the man once told me "We keep cheap t-shirts on hand just to try to make money off the people who visit the prison out yonder if they get turned away for the indecent way they are dressed." He did not know I was one of "those people who visit at the prison out yonder" and it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut. He did not deserve a response from me even though I had plenty of things I THOUGHT about saying!!

Anyhow, I don't get the whole buttoned skirt issue. You can wear buttoned blouses but not skirts, even if there is not a seam and the skirt can't open.

Wacko rules. :-)

i don't care what there freakin rules are!!! the day Kenny EOS's i've have on what ever I want to, so what if they make me sit in the car. that day they don't get to RUN...not that one....

I agree with you Denice. but with me, I feel like that since I made the walk into the county jail with Lewis 10+ years ago, i've walked beside him every day of this incarceration, I will make the last walk with him outside those doors even if it means following one more dumb rule. because once we get off state property, we will never again have to be ruled by Adoc. Lewis ask for me and no one else to walk with him out of those doors, to his freedom.he walked into jail , a man. he will walk out of prison, a man. both times I will be at his side. I would love to disobey this one time, but if I do, then Lewis will not get what he ask for me to do. to me, his request is the only important thing.

I have the t-shirt! Thanks to Danielle.... mine is in 'Bama crimson & white and Danielle has a matching one in ADOC white with black lettering... they both say, "ALABAMA SUCKS!" :D But no, I won't wear it the day he's coming home tho I wish I could... ;)

well the shorts i was gonna wear have moch buttons up the front....i just figured if i wasnt going past the entrance and i wasnt wearing lingere that it wouldnt matter but i guess they do want that control all the way to the end....just wonderful
