How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Albemarle Corrections Facility is by appointment only. Call or email the facility to schedule a time, then call again the day before to confirm your visit is still approved and on the schedule. Before any in-person visit can happen, your visitor application must be completed and approved by facility staff. Under normal circumstances, offenders are allowed no more than one visiting session per week, and each visit is limited to two hours. Certain official visitors (legal, law enforcement, consular, family services, and juvenile court officials) must register before visiting but do not count toward the 18 approved visitor maximum. Rules can vary by housing and status, so follow the facility's application instructions before scheduling.
