Questions families ask
What is the prison dress code in England?
Each prison publishes its own visitor dress code on GOV.UK. Closed prisons also sit under Annex H. Hoodies are commonly refused. Staff decide on the day.
Can I wear a hoodie, jeans, or trainers on a visit?
Check the prison. We have Official lists for some prisons — hoodie, jeans, and trainers are the usual search. We do not approve outfits.
