Volusia County's dress code is strict - and it applies to everyone, adults and kids alike. Skip the short-shorts and miniskirts, even if they'd feel fine for a quick errand elsewhere. Steer clear of anything that shows cleavage, anything strapless, and spandex. See-through or revealing clothing won't pass either, and neither will muscle shirts or mesh T-shirts. If staff consider your outfit inappropriate, you won't be allowed in. Dress more conservatively than you think you need to.
Dress-code quick check: No cleavage, nothing strapless, no spandex, no see-through or otherwise revealing clothing, and no muscle or mesh T-shirts (for visitors of all ages).
Give yourself plenty of time for check-in. On-site visitors check in at the Video Visitation Building next to the Branch Jail at 1300A Red John Drive - arrive at least ten minutes before your appointment. Don't cut it close. Once your visitation period starts, you won't be allowed into the Visitation Center. Expect screening too: under Florida Model Jail Standards, all inmates and visitors entering the facility are subject to search.
Volusia County enforces these rules with real consequences. Get asked to leave more than twice for any reason, and your visitation privileges are permanently revoked. Some behavior triggers an immediate, permanent ban. If you're removed for provocative or sexual conduct, you lose all visitation privileges on the spot - no second chances.
- Leave electronics behind - Don’t bring a cell phone, tablet, iPod, camera, or any recording device into the visitation building.
- Dress conservative on purpose - Avoid short-shorts, miniskirts, cleavage, strapless tops, spandex, see-through/revealing clothing, and muscle or mesh T-shirts (this applies to all ages).
- Arrive early and check in on time - Check in at the Video Visitation Building at 1300A Red John Drive ten minutes before your appointment; if your visit has already started, you won’t be allowed in.

- Protect your future visits - Getting asked to leave more than twice can permanently end your visitation privileges, and provocative or sexual behavior can trigger an immediate permanent denial.
