What to Wear When Visiting Robert Presley Detention Center (Dress-Code Checklist)

Planning a visit to Robert Presley Detention Center? Pick your outfit carefully. The facility enforces a dress code, and if your clothing breaks the rules, you will be turned away.

You will go through screening when you arrive. Staff may search you and your belongings, so keep things simple and avoid anything that could slow you down at check-in.

Specific Restrictions

• ✓ Do not wear clothing that refers to or indicates gang affiliation.

• ✓ Avoid clothing with sexual or lewd comments or pictures, or anything that could be considered offensive to others.

• ✓ Make sure your clothing covers your upper torso and your lower/mid body (no exposed upper body or lower/mid body).

At Robert Presley Detention Center, "too short" has a specific definition. Dresses, skirts, pants, and shorts cannot be more than two inches above the knee. That includes slits when you are standing. Do a quick mirror check before you leave so you are not caught off guard at the door.

Broader Riverside County visiting rules sometimes use different wording, such as "skirts must be at least to mid-thigh length." For visits at Robert Presley Detention Center, stick to the Presley-specific guidance above. Treat the county wording as a general reference only.

Staff take dress code violations seriously. Show up in the wrong clothes and they can deny your visit on the spot. Repeated violations can result in losing visiting privileges altogether.

Not sure if something is borderline? Call the facility before you go. Swapping outfits at home beats getting turned away at the door.
