Lancaster County Prison Dress Code: What You Can and Can't Wear to Visitation

Lancaster County Prison expects visitors to dress modestly. Keep commonly considered private body areas covered. If you're questioning whether something is too revealing, change before you go. Staff check attire at the door and can turn you away.

Footwear is required for all visitors. Plan on arriving in shoes or sandals you can keep on through the check-in process - no barefoot entry.

Lancaster County Prison requires visitors to wear a bra during visitation. If you don’t have one on, expect your visit to be stopped before it starts.

Heads up: Underwire bras often trigger the metal detector. You only get two tries to clear it - no exceptions. A non-underwire bra can save your visit.
