Here is some important information that I obtained from the Colorado Department of Corrections website: http://www.doc.state.co.us/conduct-and-dress. It is extremely important that you view this all of the information because you will not be able to attend the tour, if you are out of dress code. Also, be aware that you will be clearing a metal detector. Please make sure that you leave items that you do not need in your car. Electronic devices are not allowed in prison. Bring a form of identification. Leave your cellular phones, cameras, IPads, IPods, money, etc in your vehicle. DO NOT BRING ANY WEAPONS WITH YOU. EVEN IF YOU HAVE A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT, LEAVE YOUR WEAPONS AT HOME. You will be filling a consent to search form, which means that you consent to be searched and that includes your vehicle. If you have any questions or concerns, you can respond to this thread or you can contact me via email or telephone.

Conduct and Dress

Offenders and their visitors are accountable to conduct themselves in such a manner as to not bring suspicion nor discredit upon themselves or be disruptive or offend the sensibilities of other visitors.

Visitors and offenders are required to obey all staff instructions and to comply with all Administrative Regulations.

Contact

A short embrace and appropriate kiss may be permitted at the beginning and at the end of each visit. During visits, offenders may hold hands with their visitor. Visiting conditions will permit informal communication and reasonable levels of physical contact between offender and visitors. In instances of substantiated security risks, the Administrative Head may establish non-contact visiting areas. Body contacts between offenders and visitors other than these will not be permitted.

Children and Minors

It is the responsibility of visitors to supervise and maintain control over their minor children. Any physical discipline of such minor children deemed necessary cannot occur on correctional facility property. If a minor becomes disruptive during a visit and is not controlled by verbal instruction from the supervising visitor, the visit will be terminated.

Breast-feeding of infants is only allowed in the designated area noted in the facility Operational Memorandum.

Clothing Standards

All visitors, including attorneys and official visitors, must be fully dressed in appropriate, conventional clothing which is not unduly provocative, suggestive, or revealing and does not resemble offender attire or present adornments which could be used as a weapon. Other visitor clothing standards include:

No controversial/objectionable gang, obscene, drug and alcohol designs, messages or profanity on clothing
No camouflage, solid green, or orange, clothing or grey sweat suits
Shoes are required

Clothing designed or intended to be tightly worn, to excessively accent the body, e.g., spandex, tights, leggings, tank tops, etc. is not allowed.
Appropriate undergarments are required, but should not be visible.
Dresses, skirts, jumpers, culottes, and shorts shall not be worn if more than four inches above the kneecap when standing. Slit dresses/skirts shall be allowed only if the slit is not more than four inches above the kneecap while standing. Wrap-around clothing will not be allowed.

Types of Clothes You Can Wear

Types of Clothes You Cannot Wear

In facilities where restrooms are provided within the visiting area, the use of restrooms will be established by the facility Administrative Head and posted for visitor's information. Times will be posted as well as reflected in the facility Operational Memorandum.

Other than items from available vending machines, visitors shall not exchange any object nor article with an offender. Only those items approved by facility Operational Memoranda will be allowed into the visiting area.

The DOC will assume no responsibility for items lost, stolen or left in or around the visiting area or on DOC grounds.
If an offender is found to be in possession of or use of contraband, either during or following a visit, it will be assumed that the contraband was introduced by the visitor(s) and the contraband will become reasonable suspicion for revocation or suspension of visiting privileges for that visitor(s).

Visitor Entry

Visitors are to be required to present a valid picture identification prior to their admission for visiting. Acceptable identification would include:

Driver's License with picture
State identification card with picture
Passport
Military identification
etc

Official or picture identification card need not be required for visitors under age 18 unless the visitor is an emancipated minor.

At facilities housing medium or higher custody offenders, all visitors will be required to have the back of their right hand stamped with an ultra-violet marker before entry into the facility, by the staff person authorizing entry. The marker stamped on the back of the right hand will be read by a "black light" to establish positive identification prior to authorizing the visitor's departure from the facility. Visiting rules prohibit the resumption of the visit after leaving the facility.

All visitors are required to register upon entry into the facility by completing DC Form 300-01B, Consent to Search Authorization (Attachment "B") which specifies the circumstances under which visitors may be searched. Visitors shall complete this form each time they enter a facility or office.

It shall be the responsibility of each visitor to notify DOC of any personal changes, verbally at the visiting center, or by completing DC Form 300-01C, Visiting Update (Attachment "C"), as necessary, at each subsequent visit.

Information requested and/or submission of false information shall result in denial/revocation of visits.

All persons coming onto the grounds of a DOC facility, their vehicles, and articles of property in their possession are subject to inspection/search consistent with the security needs of the facility. In the event a visitor refuses to submit to any entrance or visiting procedure, that person will be denied visits and shall be required to leave DOC facility/property immediately.
