How to Visit Facility
You'll want to confirm visitation details directly with Bertie Correctional Institution before making the trip. Here's what you can rely on, plus the fastest way to get answers.
Before planning a visit, gather two things: the person's offender number and the facility's contact information. You can look up the offender number through the NC DAC Offender Public Information database. Having it ready saves time when you call. Bertie Correctional Institution's street address is 218 Cooper Hill Road, Windsor, NC 27983. The mailing address is P.O. Box 129, Windsor, NC 27983. To confirm visitation procedures, call 252-509-0158. Visitation schedules, required ID, visitor approval rules, dress code, and what you can bring aren't available here. These details change, so call ahead and ask for the current rules before you make the trip.
Note: Look up the offender number in the NC DAC Offender Public Information database before calling or writing. It helps staff match you to the right person quickly.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Find the offender number using the NC DAC Offender Public Information database.
- ✓ Write down the street address (218 Cooper Hill Road, Windsor, NC 27983) in case you need it for directions or check-in.
