Before Your First Visit to Crowley: What to Wear and What to Leave at Home
Visiting Crowley County Correctional Facility goes much smoother when you dress for the rules and keep what you bring simple. Here's how to avoid getting turned away at the door.
Crowley County Correctional Facility enforces a strict dress code. The safest approach: dress conservatively and skip anything too revealing or too casual. Thin spaghetti-strap tops aren't allowed. Neither are shorts of any style. Pay attention to length - pant legs, skirts, and dresses must reach at least the top of your knee when you're standing.
- ✓ No thin (spaghetti-strap) tops
- ✓ No shorts of any style
- ✓ No cargo pants
- ✓ Skirts, dresses, and pant legs must be no shorter than the top of the knee while standing
Common turn-away: If you’re wearing a skirt or dress, check the length while standing - it must be at least to the top of your knee.
Certain colors and patterns are restricted because they can resemble offender attire. Avoid outfits in a single solid prohibited color, and skip camouflage entirely. If you're not sure whether something might look like offender clothing, choose a different outfit. It's not worth risking a denied visit.
- ✓ Solid gray
- ✓ Solid green
- ✓ Solid orange
- ✓ Solid white
- ✓ Solid yellow
- ✓ Camouflage
- ✓ Anything that resembles offender attire
Keep jewelry minimal. The only items you can wear in the visiting area are a wedding ring set, one religious medallion, and medical alert badges. Extra rings, bracelets, or fashion jewelry? Leave them at home so you don't get held up - or told to remove them - during screening.
Tip: If you’re wearing permitted items (like a wedding ring set or medical alert badge), keep them easy to show during inspection.
Crowley allows limited physical contact. A brief embrace and a closed-mouth kiss are permitted at the start and end of each visit. During the visit, offenders may hold hands with their visitor. It's a small thing, but it can make the time together feel more normal without crossing any lines.
Remember: Keep physical contact to what’s allowed - brief embrace/closed-mouth kiss at the start and end, and hand-holding during the visit.
