How to Visit Eastern Corrections Inst, NC (NC)

Visiting at Eastern Corrections Inst, NC is appointment-only. Call or email the prison to schedule your visit, then call again the day before to confirm visits are still happening before you make the drive.

Plan your group size carefully. Under normal circumstances, a visiting session will not exceed three approved visitors, and the warden can change that limit based on operational needs or space.

Video visits require approval first. You must be on the incarcerated person's approved visitors list, and visits are scheduled through the Getting Out Visits app. If you're visiting from home, you'll need a computer with internet, a webcam, microphone, and a recent web browser.

To send money, NCDAC uses ViaPath options, including online deposits through ConnectNetwork.com. Mailing a money order is still free, but you'll need to send it with a deposit slip to TouchPay. The prison does not accept or process money orders directly.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Schedule an in-person visit by calling or emailing the prison, then call again the day before to confirm visitation status.
• ✓ Keep your visiting group within the normal limit of three approved visitors, and ask if the warden has made any temporary changes.

• ✓ For a video visit, confirm you are on the incarcerated person’s approved visitors list, then use the Getting Out Visits app (or set up a home visit with a computer, internet, webcam, microphone, and a current browser).

• ✓ Choose a deposit method: ConnectNetwork.com (ViaPath) or another ViaPath option, or mail a money order with the required deposit slip to TouchPay using the instructions provided.

Before you go, confirm the appointment process directly with the prison. Ask whether they prefer phone or email for scheduling. Always call the day before to make sure visits are still running as planned.

Double-check the current visitor limit. The standard maximum is three approved visitors per session, but the warden can adjust that based on space or operations. Changes can affect whether your whole group gets in.

For video visits, confirm two things: that you're listed as an approved visitor, and how to schedule through the Getting Out Visits system. Planning to visit from home? Verify the device and browser requirements ahead of time so you're not troubleshooting when the visit starts.

Money deposit rules can get detailed, so verify them right before sending funds. Confirm that ConnectNetwork.com and other ViaPath options are still available. If you're mailing a money order, make sure you have the correct deposit slip and current TouchPay mailing address (facilities don't process money orders on-site).
