Henderson Detention Center Dress Code: What to Wear (and What Will Get You Turned Away)
Henderson Detention Center will turn you away if your clothing doesn't meet their dress code. Dress conservatively, follow the rules below, and bring a valid photo ID — that's how you avoid problems at the door.
Visitors at Henderson Detention Center must wear proper attire - that means tops and bottoms, fully dressed. Staff check IDs at the door, so bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. Show up without it, and your visit ends before it begins.
- ✓ Wear a shirt or blouse that can be tucked in.
- ✓ Skip spaghetti straps.
- ✓ Skip tank tops.
- ✓ Skip tube tops.
- ✓ Skip sleeveless shirts.
- ✓ Make sure underwear is completely concealed at all times.
Other Prohibitions
- ✓ Don’t wear swimwear.
- ✓ Don’t wear sleepwear.
- ✓ Don’t wear see-through or revealing clothing.
- ✓ Don’t wear clothing with profane, sexually explicit, or derogatory language.
- ✓ Don’t wear head coverings unless they’re for religious or medical purposes.
- ✓ Remove sunglasses before entering/visiting.
Note: Head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical purposes, and sunglasses have to come off before you go in.
Expect two quick checks before you reach the visiting area: your clothing and your ID. Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID and dress appropriately. If either one's off, staff can deny entry.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Pick a simple top that can be tucked in so you don’t have to scramble for a change.
- ✓ If you’re deciding between two shirts, choose the one with sleeves (no spaghetti straps, tank tops, tube tops, or sleeveless tops).
- ✓ Avoid outfits that look like beachwear, pajamas, or anything see-through/revealing.
- ✓ Leave sunglasses in the car or pocket them before you get to the entrance so you’re ready to remove them.
Quick check before you leave: Keep underwear fully covered, and skip any clothing with profane, sexually explicit, or derogatory wording.
