How to Visit Facility

If you need to contact the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction about a specific person, come prepared. You’ll be expected to provide the person’s first name, last name, and offender ID number when you make your inquiry.

You won't find a public visiting schedule, check-in times, a list of approved visitor categories, or any confirmed process for exceptions (such as authorized visits) here. That information simply isn't included in the available official guidance. The sources also don't provide phone numbers, a dedicated visitation office contact, or a confirmed online portal for arranging visits at this specific location. Before making any plans, verify the current policy directly with the appropriate state agency or the facility itself.

Steps Follow

• ✓ Do not attempt to visit, tour, or enter the Cabarrus Youth Development Center grounds or buildings as a member of the general public.
• ✓ Do not go onto the property “just to ask questions” at the gate. Unauthorized entry can be treated as trespassing and law enforcement may be called.

• ✓ Write down the person’s first name, last name, and offender ID number before you contact the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction.
• ✓ If you don’t have the offender ID number, be ready to obtain it through the NCDAC offender information resources before you submit your question.

The official guidance is clear about what identifiers you need to provide, but it doesn't specify the best way to actually reach out. Before contacting the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, confirm the correct channel for your situation (email form, phone, or another method). Have the required information ready so your request doesn't get delayed.

1. Confirm whether any authorized exceptions exist. Public access is prohibited, so ask specifically whether there are any approved visit types (such as official, scheduled, or otherwise authorized visits) and what the authorization process is.
2. Ask what “authorized” means in practice. If someone tells you a visit can be approved, find out who grants approval and what you must do before you show up at the facility.

1. Verify the right contact point for person-specific questions. Confirm the correct office or channel for inquiries and whether they require anything beyond first name, last name, and offender ID number.
2. Double-check your identifying details before you send anything. If the name spelling or ID number is off, your request can stall or be routed incorrectly.
