Visitation at Dan River Prison Work Farm, NC

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visiting at Dan River Prison Work Farm starts with getting approved. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors (adults and minors combined), and list changes happen during open enrollment every six months based on the admission date. Normally, visits are limited to one session per week, lasting up to two hours, with a maximum of three approved visitors per session—though the warden can adjust this for operational reasons. You'll need the right paperwork: if you're 16 or older, include a copy of an approved photo ID with your visitor application. Minors under 16 need a birth certificate copy instead. Expect screening—pat/frisk and electronic-device searches for visitors 16+, metal detectors for everyone, and strict rules against cell phones (they're treated as contraband). Some people are restricted to non-contact visits, including those in administrative or disciplinary segregation and certain validated STG levels. Attorneys and legal staff should follow the facility's Legal Visits guidance.
