What You Can and Can't Wear to Visit Someone at Harrison County Jail

Stick to conservative, everyday clothing. The jail specifies proper attire as shoes, shorts of conservative length, pants, and shirts of conservative length. Staff can deny your visit if they consider your outfit improper or suspect contraband - so skip anything borderline and keep it simple.

One rule to know: female visitors are required to wear a brassiere. Don't overlook this - it's a specific requirement that could get you turned away at check-in.

• ✓ No shoes (proper attire includes shoes)
• ✓ Very short shorts (shorts should be a conservative length)
• ✓ Shirts that are very short or otherwise not a conservative length
• ✓ Clothing that’s too revealing (staff decide what counts as “too revealing”)
• ✓ Any outfit that raises concerns about contraband (visitation can be denied if contraband is suspected)

1. Wear conservative basics - shoes, conservative-length shorts or pants, and a conservative-length shirt match the jail’s stated standards.
2. Bring a simple backup option - a cover-up or alternate top can save the trip if staff consider something too revealing or otherwise improper.
3. Arrive early if you have concerns - give yourself time to address dress questions at check-in, since visitation may be denied for improper dress or suspected contraband.
4. Show up sober - anyone who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to visit.
