Visiting an Inmate in West Virginia Jail or Prison
Every correctional center in WV has its set rules regarding visitation times. Don't just show up at a jail or prison and expect to see your loved one. You'll need to contact them first, and DoNotPay can help.
Once you've established a good time to visit, follow these basic rules:
- Dress appropriately. Don't wear anything too suggestive or sexy, and don't wear "colors" associated with gangs or clubs.
- Headwear like hats, bandanas and earmuffs is usually forbidden.
- Leave expensive jewelry at home.
- Don't bring any electronics into the facility.
Expect to be searched and walked through a metal detector. Phones must be left in your car. Leave any weapons at home, even if you are legally allowed to carry them!
