Edgecombe Youth Center, Rocky Mount

To reach Edgecombe Youth Development Center about communication services, use the facility's published contact information. Director Bre'Anie Sanders handles facility inquiries, and public phone and fax numbers are also available. For day-to-day contact with someone in custody, most services—phone calls, tablet messaging, and video visits—go through a third-party vendor platform rather than the facility directly. You'll create an account through the vendor's website or app, add funds so calls or paid tablet features work, and schedule video visits through the vendor portal. Some messaging systems require the person in custody to send the first message before you can reply, so follow the vendor's approval and scheduling steps closely.

Mail rules at Edgecombe Youth Center generally follow broader North Carolina practices. Most non-legal mail gets sent to an offsite vendor, where letters are screened and scanned—residents receive a digital copy instead of the original. Packages, books, and publications don't go through the scan process. Send those directly to the facility's street address or through an approved vendor, following the facility's specific requirements. For scanned letters, use the vendor's required address format. Include the resident's full name and ID number, plus the facility name (spell out the state) to avoid delays. Processing is often quick—about a day—but timing varies. Need the original letter back? Request it promptly. Vendors typically keep originals only briefly and may charge a fee.

Edgecombe Youth Development Center (Edgecombe YDC) in Rocky Mount is a self-contained, secure complex serving committed male youth under the Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. After commitment, youth receive comprehensive assessments covering medical, mental-health, education, and other areas. These results shape an individualized service plan. Each youth gets assigned to a licensed mental-health clinician who develops a treatment plan and typically provides weekly group or individual psychotherapy. Psychiatric services are available when needed. The service planning team includes the youth, a parent or guardian, a home-district court counselor, a social worker facilitator, and a licensed mental-health clinician. The plan must be developed within one month and reviewed at least monthly.
