Protocol for Entering Eastern Correctional Facility

General Protocol
Before entering Eastern all guests will pass through a security checkpoint similar to that at any airport — you must present a valid photo ID. All electronic devices, including fit bits, cell phones, cameras and the like, are strictly prohibited. Please minimize what you bring inside – handbags, briefcases, and accessories should be left in the car. Dress is business casual. Guests are asked to arrive by 9:30 a.m. to allow time for security processing.
