Approved legal representatives (law clerk, paralegal, interpreter, investigator, psychologist, and other experts} may accompany an attorney into the Visiting Room. If visiting independently, representatives must follow the requirements set forth in the “Legal Representatives” section below. See Section 8. Attorneys are ordinarily not permitted to bring material witnesses into the Visiting Room. Prior approval to do soa must be received from the Warden and requires a court order. Written requests for such approval should clearly outline the specific clrcumstances requiring this type of visit. Visits will not be approved if alternative arrangements are avallable to defense counsel. 7. Dress Code All visitors, including attorneys, are required to dress ina manner appropriate for a correctional environment. Excessively provocative, immodest or revealing attire is reason to deny visiting.

Furthermore, clothing which may impede identification (e.g., hoods) or easily hide contraband (e.9g., coats) present security concerns and are also prohibited. All visitors are required to wear shoes (no shower shoes, flip-fiops, toe-revealing or backless shoes of any kind) and undergarments (including bras for females). The Warden has delegated to the Institution Duty Officer the ultimate decision— making authority regarding what attire is appropriate inside the Visating Room. If the Buty Officer is not available, the Operations Lieutenant will make the final decision. A memorandum containing clothing guidelines is posted in the lobby of MCC New York. It is the responsibility of visitors to familiarize themselves with this memo and watch for updates. 8. Legal Representatives Attorneys are allowed to visit their clients upon providing evidence of their professional status. However, attorneys often need other individuals, e.g., paralegals, interpreters, mitigation specialists, private investigators, to visit their clients in connection with legal representation. These individuals do not receive the same entry privileges granted to attorneys and must first submit an application (See ATTACHMENT A) signed by a sponsoring attorney and pass a background check before being granted permission to enter MCC New York.
