Visiting With Children at Washington County Correctional: Rules You Need to Know
Bringing kids to visit at Washington County Correctional takes some planning. Here are the rules that trip families up most often, so you can walk in prepared and avoid getting turned away.
Anyone under 18 must come with their parent or legal guardian. During the visit, keep your child within arm's reach at all times.
- ✓ Keep children seated throughout the visit.
- ✓ Make sure they stay under control at all times.
Staff can end your visit if a child runs around, strays out of reach, or becomes disruptive. Even if your loved one is doing everything right, the visit can be cut short if the child's behavior doesn't meet facility expectations.
Break the visiting rules and you can be escorted out of the facility and off the grounds. The facility also warns that you may lose visitation privileges going forward.
Quick tip: Keep kids close and calm from the moment you enter. If a child is out of reach or disruptive, you can be required to leave and may not be allowed to return.
Bringing a teen? Plan for ID. Washington County Correctional requires valid photo identification for anyone over sixteen.
- ✓ Driver’s license
- ✓ Department of Transportation identification
- ✓ Other government-issued photo identification
No exceptions: The facility makes no exceptions to the photo ID requirement for visitors over 16. Make sure every visitor's name is on the approved list, too, or they won't be admitted.
