No Approval Needed for These Items
When you come to JWTP for a visit, you may bring the items listed below for your youth, with no approval needed. All items must be clearly marked with the youth’s name.
- Food or drinks for use on unit: Non-perishable, pre-packaged items only. Protein drinks are not allowed. It is each youth’s responsibility to make sure they don’t have more items than they can fit into their canteen tote.
- Hygiene items and makeup: No liquid eyeliner. Makeup must be new and unopened. These must fit into the youth’s hygiene tote with the lid shut. Glass containers are not allowed. Medications or medicated products are not allowed — this includes prescriptions and over-the-counter items.
- 1 book or magazine: This must fit in the youth’s dorm tote with the lid shut. It may not contain content that is overtly sexual or depicts substance use/abuse, gangs, or illegal activity.

You may also provide these items to youth when you come for visiting, but only with prior approval from JWTP managers. If you send or bring them without prior approval, you will have to take them home. We will not do approvals on the spot when you arrive.

- Arts and crafts supplies
- Jewelry
- Music CDs and DVDs (no burned CDs or R-rated movies; if our staff feel the content of the CD or DVD is inappropriate, we will not give it to your youth)
