What to Wear (and What Not to Wear) When Visiting Kansas City RRM

Kansas City RRM can deny your visit if your clothing looks inappropriate, provocative, or too revealing. It doesn't matter if you've driven hours and waited in line - the wrong outfit ends your visit before it starts. Play it safe with something conservative and simple.

Before worrying about what to wear, make sure you can actually visit. You must be on the inmate's approved visiting list to get in at Kansas City RRM.

What to Wear (and What Not to Wear) When Visiting Kansas City RRM

Prohibited Items

  • ✓ Bathing suits
  • ✓ See-through garments of any type
  • ✓ Halter tops
  • ✓ Revealing shorts
  • ✓ Crop tops
  • ✓ Low-cut blouses or dresses
  • ✓ Miniskirts
  • ✓ Clothing that looks like inmate clothing (khaki or green military-type clothing)
  • ✓ Hats or caps
  • ✓ Sleeveless garments

Note: Dress code enforcement can vary, and certain items draw extra scrutiny - especially see-through clothing or anything resembling inmate attire (think khaki or green military-style outfits). When in doubt, call ahead to confirm the current rules.

  1. Pick a conservative outfit - If it could be seen as provocative or revealing, swap it out; inappropriate clothing can get you denied.
  2. Choose simple, non-distracting basics - The goal is to get through check-in smoothly and spend your time visiting, not negotiating your outfit.
  3. If you’re on the fence, change before you leave - It’s much easier to adjust at home than after you arrive.
  • ✓ Bring a conservative outer layer you can put on if something feels borderline once you’re dressed
  • ✓ Arrive early enough to handle any clothing questions without risking your visit

Planning to wear something that's sometimes restricted - like a hat or sleeveless top? Call Kansas City RRM first to check. Same goes for anything that might look like inmate clothing, including khaki or green military-style outfits. Those are generally not allowed.

Can You Visit Someone at Kansas City RRM? What Families Need to Know

Kansas City RRM is a Residential Reentry Management field office - not a traditional prison. That distinction matters. RRM offices don't always operate like standard prison visiting rooms, so don't assume walk-in or weekend visits work the same way here. Before making any plans, call the Kansas City RRM office directly to find out what visiting options are actually available for the person you want to see.
