How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visitation at Berti Correctional Institution follows North Carolina prison rules. The exact options and schedules can vary, so check the facility's visitation page before making plans. North Carolina prisons commonly offer both in-person and video visits, but availability depends on the location and the incarcerated person's status. You'll need to be on the approved visitor list before you can visit. The process typically works like this: the incarcerated person requests visitor application forms and mails them to you, then you complete the questionnaire and return it for review. Visit type can also change based on housing status, security classification, and local rules. Some people may be limited to non-contact or video visits only. Before scheduling anything, look up the offender number using the NCDAC Offender Public Information database.
