You must have been fortunate or look particularly harmless to avoid the need for ID.
When I visited the prison as a member of an officially sanctioned party conducting a Christmas Mass for the inmates, I was sent back to my car for ID before I was allowed past the entrance check point.
Years of trouble after a visit definitely is an urban legend.
