What to Expect During Check-In at Pasquotank: Pat Searches and Entry Rules
The first few minutes at the entrance set the tone for your whole visit. Knowing what screening to expect (and what will get you turned away) makes check-in at Pasquotank much less stressful.
If you're 16 or older, expect two layers of security screening before you enter Pasquotank Correctional Institution: a pat/frisk search and a scan with an electronic device. Both are designed to keep contraband out of the facility. Searches use the least intrusive means available, but you still need to follow staff directions from the moment you reach the check-in area.
Leave your cell phone behind. Cell phones are classified as contraband and are not allowed inside Pasquotank. If you're used to having your phone on you at all times, plan ahead and leave it in your car before you walk up to screening.
Heads up: Showing up with prohibited items like a cell phone can end your visit before it starts. Keep your pockets and belongings simple so screening goes smoothly.
Pasquotank enforces a dress code at the door. Shirts and shoes are mandatory, and dressing conservatively helps you avoid any issues during check-in.
Refuse the search, and you won't get in. The simplest way to protect your visit is to treat check-in like a security checkpoint: cooperate with the pat/frisk and electronic device screening (for visitors 16+), and don't try to bring prohibited items like a cell phone. Dress appropriately, too. Shirts and shoes are required for entry.
