Your First Visit to RMC Work Camp: What to Bring and What to Leave Behind
Your first visit will go much smoother if you show up with the right items—and leave everything else locked in your car. Here's what you need to know to avoid delays or getting turned away at RMC Work Camp.
Wait until the inmate confirms your visitation application has been approved before making the trip. Showing up without approval means you won't get in - no matter how far you drove. If you're 16 or older, bring a valid photo ID. Make sure it's current and matches the name on your visitation paperwork. This is one of the fastest ways to avoid problems at check-in.
Want snacks or drinks during your visit? Bring cash for the vending machines. Each visitor - any age - can bring up to $50 total, but only in $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. Other denominations can hold you up at the door. This cash is for vending machines only, not for giving to your loved one.
Remember: You can't give money to an inmate during visitation. Bring only what you'll use at the vending machines - up to $50 in approved bills.
Baby Supplies
- ✓ Up to five (5) diapers
- ✓ Three (3) clear baby bottles
- ✓ Two (2) toddler sipper cups
- ✓ Three (3) clear plastic jars of sealed (unopened) baby food
You'll be searched before entering. This applies to you and anything you bring, so keep your pockets and bags simple to speed things along. Refusing a search means no visit - and it can affect your future visiting privileges too. If you're unsure about an item, leave it in the car.
Plan for screening: If you won’t submit to a search, you won’t be allowed to visit, and future visiting privileges may be impacted.
