  • ✓ Any valid Driver’s License (current)
  • ✓ Military or Government I.D. card

You'll need to identify yourself and register when you arrive. Bring a valid, current photo ID - it's what makes check-in quick and painless.

George W. Hill posts its dress code as a PDF on the facility's visitation page. If you're not sure whether an outfit will pass, check that PDF before you leave. Dress code violations are one of the easiest ways to get turned away.

Video visits aren't more relaxed. At George W. Hill, the dress code is the same whether you're visiting in person or on screen - plan your outfit accordingly.

  • ✓ Choose modest, non-revealing clothing so you don’t get stuck changing plans at the door
  • ✓ Avoid see-through or sheer fabrics, even if you’re wearing layers underneath
  • ✓ Skip outfits with provocative, offensive, or gang-related graphics
  • ✓ Keep accessories simple; if something could slow down screening, leave it at home
  • ✓ When you’re on the fence, dress more conservatively than you think you need to
