Wait until the inmate confirms your visitation application has been approved before visiting Appalachee Correctional Institution. Only one form per visitor is allowed, and incomplete or false information can lead to denial. Anyone 12 and older must complete the application and submit it by email or U.S. Mail to the inmate's institution. Visitors 16 and older need a valid photo ID. Everyone is subject to searches of their person and possessions, and refusing a search means your visit can be denied. The dress code is strict: shirts and shoes are required, some footwear is banned, and dresses, skirts, or Bermuda-length shorts more than three inches above the knee are not allowed. You may bring limited items, including up to $50 in $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills for vending, prescription meds in original containers, and a short list of baby items.
