What to Wear for Your Video Visit: Westmoreland County Prison's Dress Code Explained

For video visits at Westmoreland County Prison, dress like you're heading somewhere public - not lounging at home. Dresses, skirts, and shorts must be no more than two (2) inches above the knee, and mini-skirts aren't allowed. Skip anything revealing or low-cut on top, and leave sleeveless options in the closet - that means no halter tops, tank tops, or midriff tops. Pajamas and lingerie are also off-limits, even if you're calling from your living room.

Warning: Exposing any part of your body normally covered by clothing - or wearing inappropriate attire - can get your video visit terminated immediately. You may also lose video visiting privileges.

Clothing isn't the only thing that can shut down a video visit. Inappropriate gestures and language are also grounds for immediate termination. Treat the visit like it's being monitored - because it is. Keep your conversation respectful and avoid anything that could come across as obscene or threatening.

Note: Westmoreland County Prison treats inappropriate dress and inappropriate gestures/language as policy violations - either one can end your video visit right away.

The refund rules are strict, so know them before you schedule. Cancel at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance and you'll get a 100% refund. Cancel after that window? No refund. If the prison ends your visit due to inappropriate behavior, dress, or other policy violations, you won't get your money back either. A quick check of your outfit and surroundings before connecting is worth it.

When picking your outfit, think "covered and simple." For bottoms, skip short shorts and anything more than two inches above your knee - mini-skirts are out. For tops, avoid low-cut or revealing shirts and steer clear of sleeveless options like tank tops, halters, or midriff tops. Even though it's a video call, pajamas and lingerie can still get your visit cut short. Once you're on camera, keep things clean: inappropriate gestures or language can end the visit just as fast.

  • Length check: If you’re wearing a dress, skirt, or shorts, make sure it’s no more than two (2) inches above the knee (no mini-skirts).
  • Top check: Skip revealing or low-cut tops, and avoid sleeveless styles - no halter, tank, or midriff tops.
  • Not sleepwear: Don’t wear pajamas or lingerie for the video visit.

Tip: If your visit is stopped for inappropriate behavior, inappropriate dress, or other policy violations, you won’t get a refund - double-check before you connect.
