What to Wear and Bring to Your RADF Visit: Dress Code and Prohibited Items

RADF enforces a dress code, and staff will turn you away if your clothing is too revealing. Skip low-cut shirts, short shorts, tank tops, and anything see-through. Spaghetti straps and strapless tops are off-limits too. Dresses and skirts? Keep them at mid-thigh or longer.

Tip: If you’re on the fence about an outfit, go more conservative. It’s the easiest way to avoid being denied at the door.

Travel light. RADF only allows identification, a wallet, and car or home keys inside the visitation area - no purses or bags. You'll need a valid local, state, or federal U.S. government identification card at sign-up and again at entry, so have it ready.

Bring your ID: If you don’t have a valid local, state, or federal U.S. government ID for sign-up/entry, you may not be able to visit.

What to Wear and Bring to Your RADF Visit: Dress Code and Prohibited Items

Expect to be searched before entering. To speed things up, arrive with only what's allowed - ID, wallet, and keys. Leave purses, bags, and anything else locked in your car.

  1. Leave purses and bags behind - RADF doesn’t allow purses, bags, or other extra items inside.
  2. Bring only the allowed essentials - carry your identification, a wallet, and/or car or home keys.
  3. Dress to the RADF standard - avoid low-cut or see-through tops, tank tops, spaghetti straps/strapless clothing, short shorts, and skirts/dresses shorter than mid-thigh.
  4. Have your government ID ready - you must present a valid local, state, or federal U.S. government identification card at sign-up and/or at the time of the visit.
