How to Visit Craven County Jail, NC (NC)
Visiting someone at Craven County Jail is straightforward once you know where to find the current rules. Here's how to get set up before your visit.
Head to the county's "Find" page and look for "Jail Visitation Guidelines." That's where Craven County posts the current rules, including details that change over time like visiting procedures and any special restrictions. Checking there first saves you from showing up with the wrong expectations. For staying in touch outside of visits, know that Craven County Detention Center does not allow inmates to receive incoming calls. All phone contact has to start from the inmate's side, and those calls are recorded and can be monitored. Keep anything sensitive out of phone conversations.
Note: Phone calls with inmates at Craven County Detention Center are recorded and may be monitored. Assume every call could be reviewed.
Steps
- ✓ Create an online account with JailATM, find the Craven County facility, enter the inmate’s name, then add money using a credit card.
- ✓ Set up Securus Technologies so you can receive collect calls. You can open an account online or call 1-800-844-6591 to get service set up.
Planning to call your loved one directly? That's not how it works here. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls. They have to initiate contact, and every conversation is recorded and subject to monitoring. Treat each call like someone else might listen to it.
- Read the “Jail Visitation Guidelines” on the county “Find” page: Use that page as your source of truth for current visitation rules at the Craven County jail.
- Confirm deposits are still handled through JailATM: On the JailATM site, make sure you can still locate the facility, then follow the prompts to deposit funds to the correct inmate.
- Verify your Securus setup and call options: Confirm your Securus account is active and that you understand how collect calling works for this facility (and any account settings you need for your phone number).
Tip: Check the county's visitation guidelines or call the facility directly to confirm details not covered here, like visitation times, ID requirements, approved visitors, and what you can or can't bring.
