What to Wear (and What Not to Wear) When Visiting Madison Correctional Institution
Madison Correctional Institution checks IDs and enforces dress rules strictly. Show up with the wrong ID or outfit, and you'll be turned away. Double-check before you leave home.
Anyone 16 or older needs a valid photo ID to enter the visiting area. Don't assume you'll be fine without it just because you've visited before - bring your ID every time. Make sure it's current and in decent shape so check-in doesn't become a problem.
Reminder: Every visitor age 16+ needs a valid photo ID to get into the visiting area.
The basics: you need a shirt and shoes. Madison CI also bans certain footwear - Heelys aren't allowed, and neither are shoes with removable parts. Stick with plain, standard shoes to avoid getting stopped at the door.
Tip: Pick simple shoes with no removable parts (and skip Heelys) to avoid delays at check-in.
Length matters for skirts, dresses, and Bermuda-length shorts. Nothing more than three inches above the knee. If you're not sure whether something's too short, go longer. Better than getting turned away at the gate.
Rule of thumb: Knee-length (or longer) skirts, dresses, and shorts are the safest choice.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Bring a valid photo ID for every visitor age 16+
- ✓ Wear a shirt (required)
- ✓ Wear shoes (required)
- ✓ Skip Heelys
- ✓ Avoid footwear with removable parts
- ✓ Choose dresses, skirts, or Bermuda-length shorts that are not more than 3 inches above the knee
These rules are simple, but they can still ruin a visit if you don't catch the problem until you arrive. Before you leave home, do a quick check: photo ID for everyone 16+, shirt and shoes on, and bottoms that meet the length rule. Running late? That's when small issues become big ones. Give yourself a buffer.
Keep it simple: Valid photo ID (16+), a shirt, sensible shoes, and knee-length bottoms are your best bet for a smooth entry.
