How to Schedule Your First In-Person Visit at Craggy Correctional Center

Craggy Correctional Center offers both in-person and video visits. Before scheduling, figure out which option applies to the person you're visiting - the booking process differs depending on the visit type.

In-person visits at Craggy Correctional Center are by appointment only. Call or email the prison directly to request a slot. If you don't have the contact details, look up the facility on the NCDAC prison list before reaching out.

Once your appointment is set, call the prison again the day before to confirm visitation is still happening. That quick check can save you a wasted trip if something changed.

Your visitor application must be completed and approved before you can schedule an in-person visit. If you haven't been approved yet, get that done first - then book your appointment.

Each incarcerated person can have a maximum of 18 approved visitors. If you're being added later, someone else may already be taking up a slot on their list.

  • If you’re 16 or older, attach a copy of an approved photo ID to the visitor application.
  • If the visitor is under 16, attach a copy of the child’s birth certificate to the visitor application.

Bring the same approved photo ID you used on your application. If you're 16 or older, staff will check it during check-in to verify your identity.

Security is similar to an airport. Visitors 16 and older go through a pat search and electronic screening. Everyone - regardless of age - must pass through a metal detector.

Warning: Cell phones, smartwatches, cameras, recording devices, and smart/AI glasses are not allowed inside Craggy Correctional Center. Cell phones count as contraband - leave them in your car.
