What to Leave at Home: Prohibited Items for Visits at Warren Correctional
A smooth visit starts with packing light. Warren Correctional (ODRC) screens every visitor at the door. Bringing the wrong item can slow you down or end your visit before it begins.
Everyone entering ODRC facilities, including Warren Correctional, is subject to search. You'll go through a metal detector, so build in extra time in case something you're wearing or carrying triggers it. Small things cause delays: hairpins, underwire bras, certain boots and shoes, clothing with multiple zippers, or too much jewelry.
