What to Wear (and What NOT to Wear) for Your Cobb County Detention Visit

Cobb County Detention expects visitors to dress conservatively. Skip revealing tops and anything see-through. Your midriff needs to be fully covered. Planning to wear shorts or a skirt? Keep them no more than 2 inches above the knee. And keep your shoes on the entire time you're in the visitation area.

Specific Prohibitions

• ✓ No halter tops
• ✓ No tank tops
• ✓ No spaghetti-strap tops
• ✓ No see-through clothing
• ✓ No bare midriffs

Shorts and skirts are fine - as long as they're no more than 2 inches above the knee. When in doubt, go a little longer. This rule trips people up more than you'd think.

Keep your shoes on the entire time. Even if you want to get comfortable during the visit, don't slip them off - it's not allowed.

Other Items to Avoid

• ✓ Don’t bring food into the visitation area
• ✓ Don’t bring drinks into the visitation area
