How to Visit Facility
Harnett County Detention Center uses video visitation. Here's what the facility says about where to go and what to confirm before you make the trip.
The Detention Lobby at Harnett County Detention Center serves two purposes: speaking with a Magistrate and visiting inmates through video stations. Video visitation isn't limited to the lobby. All housing pods are equipped with video stations (visitation booths) for inmate visits. The facility doesn't publish details like visiting hours, sign-up rules, ID requirements, or visit length limits, so call ahead to confirm before you go.
Note: Visits are handled through video stations/booths (not face-to-face visits in a common visiting room).
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Go to the Detention Lobby if you need to speak with a Magistrate.
- ✓ For inmate visitation, plan to use the facility’s video stations/visitation booths (available in the Detention Lobby and in all housing pods).
Call before you show up. Ask about current visitation hours, whether you need to be on an approved visitor list, and whether visits require an appointment. Since visits happen through video stations, ask what you'll need for check-in: ID requirements, age rules for minors, and any limits on how many visitors can come. Find out if there's a specific process for accessing the video stations or any fees involved. Getting these details ahead of time saves you from being turned away at the door.
Reminder: Policies can change. Contact the facility directly to confirm the Detention Lobby procedure for speaking with a Magistrate and the current video visitation setup before you go.
