NORTH PIEDMONT CRV

Visitation at North Piedmont CRV is held on Sundays. You must be immediate family and already on the offender's approved visitor list, so start the visitor application and approval process well before you plan to show up. Each visit allows no more than three visitors per offender. Whether your visit is contact or non-contact depends on the offender's status and facility rules, so be prepared for a non-contact setup in some cases. Get the application forms and any scheduling details in advance, then confirm the current rules with the facility so you don't get turned away.

At North Piedmont CRV, communication options run through third-party vendors. That means you'll manage phone calls, messages, tablet access, and video visits through the vendor's app or online portal rather than contacting the facility directly. Some incoming physical mail is processed by TextBehind, which scans letters into digital images delivered through the facility's tablet system. Religious correspondence courses, sacred texts, and Bible study materials require pre-approval through a review process involving the chaplain (or religious coordinator) and the mail room. The person in custody generally submits a Request for Assistance, and review typically takes about two weeks. Approved religious course materials should be shipped directly from the vendor, school, or religious institution, not routed through TextBehind.

Money deposits for people in custody at North Piedmont CRV go through North Carolina's third-party payment vendors. Depending on which option you choose, you can make a deposit on the web or in a mobile app, by phone, at retail walk-in locations or kiosks, or through cash-deposit services. Funds go into the person's trust or commissary account for purchases and approved debits. Any remaining balance is returned when they transfer or are released. When submitting a deposit, enter the person's full booked name and inmate or account number exactly as shown, and follow the vendor's instructions. If you mail a money order, include the required deposit slip. Don't add letters, photos, staples, or other extras, since non-scannable or oversized contents can be returned.
