How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Carteret Corrections Center ended in-person visitation on November 1. All visits are now video visits through PayTel, scheduled at paytel.com. Each inmate gets one free 15-minute video visit per week—additional time costs $0.30 per minute. No phone or computer? The jail has a video visitation kiosk in the visitation room, but you'll need to schedule kiosk sessions during lobby hours (8:30 AM–4:30 PM). Before scheduling, make sure you're on the approved visitor list and have completed any required forms. For help setting up your account, check PayTel's website or call their support line.
