What to Wear When Visiting FCI La Tuna: Dress Code Rules Explained
Dress code is one of the easiest ways to get turned away at the door. Here's what the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) generally doesn't allow—and how to confirm what FCI La Tuna expects before you make the trip.
Revealing shorts are a no-go under BOP visiting guidance. To avoid problems at check-in, skip anything that's too short or too revealing. Go conservative.
Tops and dresses that show a lot of skin are also off-limits. Halter tops, crop tops, and low-cut blouses or dresses can get you turned away - anything that reads as provocative or revealing.
Even if you're traveling from somewhere hot, skip anything that looks like swimwear or hugs too tight. Bathing suits, see-through garments, leotards, and spandex are generally not permitted.
Here's one that catches people off guard: don't wear anything that could be mistaken for inmate clothing. Khaki or green military-style clothing is generally not allowed.
Note: These examples come from BOP-wide visiting guidance. They’re a strong baseline for what to avoid, but the local facility can still be stricter.
Physical contact during visits is limited. A brief hug, handshake, or quick kiss at the start and end is usually fine, but staff can restrict contact based on security concerns or what they consider appropriate. Dressing conservatively keeps the focus on your visit - not your outfit.
The BOP's dress code is a general guideline, not a guarantee that every facility follows it exactly. For FCI La Tuna specifically, check the facility's visiting policy before you go. Local rules can be stricter, and what passes at one prison might not fly at another.
