Forsyth Correctional Center, Nc

Forsyth Correctional Center opens Sunday religious services to offenders and their families—one confirmed opportunity for family attendance. Beyond that, details are harder to pin down online: the NC DAC visitation webpage for Forsyth returned a CloudFront 403 error at capture time. Because visitation rules vary across North Carolina prisons, confirm ahead whether visits are in-person or video, and whether contact visits are allowed for your loved one's custody status. You'll need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list and complete the visitor application process before scheduling a visit. Follow the facility's instructions or ask your loved one to mail you the necessary forms.

Forsyth Correctional Center uses ViaPath/GTL for Friends & Family communication accounts. These accounts may be forfeited after 180 consecutive days of inactivity. If your account becomes inactive or gets forfeited, call 866-516-0115 to request a refund. The ConnectNetwork sign-in page lets you use the same email and password across the vendor portal. Phone calls, messaging, tablet features, and video visits are all managed through third-party vendor apps or websites. You'll create an account, add funds, and schedule or start visits from there. Some systems require approval before video visits, and the incarcerated person may need to message you first.

Forsyth Correctional Center participates in North Carolina's statewide seasonal package program. The ordering window runs Wednesday, January 7 through Friday, February 6, handled through the state vendor. Items on the NC inmate package shopping pages are pre-approved for shipment. If the incarcerated person is placed on certain control statuses before an order ships, Union Supply Direct cancels the order and issues a refund minus a $5.00 restocking fee. Footwear rules are strict: offenders may possess only one pair each of work boots, tennis shoes, and shower shoes at any time. The North Carolina Property Program also warns that some prisons may not support rechargeable electronic devices—confirm what Forsyth allows before ordering.
