How to Contact an Inmate at Diagnostic And Evaluation Center, NE (NE)

Before you try to schedule a visit, make sure you're approved and added to the incarcerated person's visiting list. This applies to everyone, including minors. Visitor limits matter too. NDCS guidelines allow up to four adult visitors per in-person or virtual visit, plus a "reasonable" number of children. The exact number of children allowed can vary by facility.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Confirm you are approved and already on the incarcerated person’s visiting list (adults and minors must be approved before you can schedule).
• ✓ Submit your visitation request at least seven days before the date you want.
• ✓ Plan around the scheduling window. Visits may be scheduled up to four weeks from the date of your request.
• ✓ Expect first-come, first-served scheduling. Watch for an email confirmation at least three days before the visit.

When you contact the facility, zero in on the details that could affect whether your visit or message goes through. Ask how the approval process works for getting on the visiting list, and how long it typically takes. You must be on the list before you can schedule anything. Confirm visitor limits for your situation, including how DECC defines a "reasonable" number of children. Double-check the timing rules: requests must be submitted at least seven days before the date you want, visits can be scheduled up to four weeks out, and confirmations are sent by email at least three days prior. Scheduling is first-come, first-served. If you're sending personal correspondence through the tablet system, ask what content is allowed. Materials are scanned into one PDF, and a single policy issue can cause the entire document to be rejected. Also verify practical details not covered here: visiting hours, ID requirements, the name of any messaging or video-visit vendor, and any fees.
