What You Can Actually Bring to the Visiting Room at Madison Correctional Institution: A Complete Checklist

Cash is allowed for vending machines, but there's a strict limit: $50 per visitor, regardless of age. Stick to $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills. Larger denominations won't be accepted, and you'll have to take them back to your car.

Need to bring prescription medication? Only pack what you'll take during the visit itself - nothing more. Keep it in the original prescription container with a readable label.

Bringing a baby or toddler? You can bring a small set of infant supplies with quantity limits. Diapers, clear baby bottles, toddler sipper cups, and sealed baby food in clear plastic jars are all permitted - see the checklist below for exact amounts.

Keep your keys simple. One vehicle key is allowed. Keyless entry devices face extra scrutiny - expect a visual inspection before they're approved.

Infant Supplies

• ✓ Up to five (5) diapers
• ✓ Up to three (3) clear baby bottles
• ✓ Up to two (2) toddler sipper cups
• ✓ Up to three (3) clear plastic jars of sealed (unopened) baby food

Madison Correctional Institution only allows the dosage you'll need during your visit. If you usually carry a full week's supply, leave it behind. Bring only what you'll actually take while you're there.

Medications must stay in their original containers with a readable label showing the medication type, dosage, and the patient's name. Skip the pill organizers - bring the original bottle.

One vehicle key is permitted. Keyless entry devices aren't allowed unless the duty warden (or designee) inspects the device, confirms it's your only way to access your vehicle, and determines it poses no security threat. If a keyless fob is all you have, be prepared to present it for inspection.

Never give money directly to an inmate. The cash you bring (up to $50 in approved bill sizes) is for vending machine purchases only - not to hand off or pass along.
