What Can You Bring Into the Visiting Room at Appalachee? A Complete List
Packing for a visit is easier when you know exactly what's allowed. Use the sections below as your facility-specific checklist so nothing gets turned away at the door.
You can bring cash for vending machines, but there's a strict $50.00 limit per visitor. That money is for buying snacks and beverages - not for the person you're visiting. Handing money to an inmate isn't allowed under any circumstances.
- ✓ $1 bills only
- ✓ $5 bills only
- ✓ $10 bills only
- ✓ $20 bills only
Quick reminder: Cash is capped at $50 per visitor, vending machines only. You cannot hand any money to an inmate.
If you take prescription medication, bring only what you'll need during the visit. Skip the extra doses "just in case" - the rule is based on your actual visit timeframe.
Any prescription medication you bring must stay in its original prescribed container, with a readable label. If the label can’t be read, it won’t meet the requirement.
Baby Items Allowed and Limits
- ✓ No more than five (5) diapers
- ✓ Up to three (3) clear baby bottles
- ✓ Up to two (2) toddler sipper cups
- ✓ Up to three (3) clear plastic jars of sealed (unopened) baby food
Baby wipes are allowed, but they must be in a clear bag. No clear bag? They won't make it into the visiting room.
Baby-items quick check: 5 diapers max, 3 clear bottles, 2 sipper cups, 3 clear sealed (unopened) baby foods, and wipes only in a clear bag.
Warning: Department staff are not allowed to hold or store items for visitors - under any circumstances.
Show up with only what you're permitted to carry in. Leave anything else somewhere safe before you enter - there's no holding area, and you won't get it back until after your visit.
