How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Craggy Correctional Center allows both in-person and video visitation for people in NCDAC custody. In-person visits are appointment-only—call or email to schedule, then call the day before to confirm your visit is still approved. Your visitor application must be completed and approved before you can visit. The offender requests and mails blank forms, and each offender may have up to 18 approved visitors. If you're 16 or older, include a copy of an approved photo ID with your application. Minors under 16 need a birth certificate instead. Under normal circumstances, inmates can have one visiting session per week (up to two hours), typically with up to three approved visitors per session. Expect screening: everyone passes through a metal detector, most electronics are banned, and dress code and frisking rules apply.
