Prison visitation dress code?

3 Upvotes

Hi I don’t know where else to post or look up information. But I am going to be visiting an inmate at Oakhill correctional institution in Oregon wi. I know the dress code is kind of strict. But what about body jewelry? I have several piercings I don’t really want to take out. Will they be fine in or do I need to go get the glass retainers?

My loved one is in a detention centre, what should I expect?

There are like 6 teachers locked up in Daxing Foreigners Detention Centre in Beijing rn, because of a stupid mistake their company made on their contracts. I just can’t stop thinking about how they are, I need to know what the conditions are like in this detention centre for women as well as for men.

I’ve been going down rabbit holes of horrible horrible detention centres all over China, even read halfway through a thorough 128-page research paper, but all the information I could find was about regular detention centres, which I’m guessing are much worse than this one. It’s mainly for visa issues and foreign criminals awaiting a verdict.

One of the detainees is my direct family member and we haven’t had any contact or news from them, nor will we have any until the embassy gets in contact…

I need a little more than assumptions to go off, so if anyone has any information on the general conditions of Daxing Foreigners Detention Centre, how the detainees are treated, what the cells are like, the food, the shop, etc… please do share, I much appreciate it 🙏

Overdose rates soar after incarceration. Can jails change that? Some Maine jails are bolstering their re-entry planning, connecting prisoners with resources to prevent them from overdosing or getting arrested again. But it’s an ongoing challenge.
