What to Bring (and What to Leave Home) When Visiting Wise County Jail
A little prep before you leave the house can save you a wasted trip. Here's what you need to know about ID requirements, dress code rules, and prohibited items at Wise County Jail.
If you’re visiting Wise County Jail and you’re 17 or older, you’ll need to bring a picture ID. Plan on having it ready at check-in, because visitors without proper photo identification won’t be allowed to visit.
Don't have a standard photo ID? Your visit isn't automatically off - but you'll need approval first. A shift supervisor must sign off on alternative forms of identification before you can enter, so ask about this when you arrive.
The jail enforces a dress code, and the simplest way to avoid problems is to dress conservatively. Short shorts above the knees, tank tops, and short dresses aren't allowed. Clothing that's too tight or revealing can also get you turned away.
Tip: When in doubt, change before you go. Showing up in something too short, tight, or revealing means you won't get in.
- Plan your arrival around the sign-in cutoff - you must be signed in at least 30 minutes before the end of the specified visitation time.
- Finish check-in before that deadline - if you aren’t signed in by then, your visit may be denied.
