What You Can't Bring to Lumberton Correctional: A Visitor's Checklist
Nothing ruins a visit faster than getting turned away at the entrance—especially after a long drive. Use this checklist to make sure prohibited items stay out of your car and off your body before you head to Lumberton Correctional.
Quick No Go
- ✓ Cell phones
- ✓ Smartwatches
- ✓ Cameras
- ✓ Recording devices
- ✓ Smart/AI glasses
Note: Electronics aren't allowed inside. Leave them at home or locked in your vehicle before you reach the gate.
Your outfit matters. Shirts and shoes are required for all visitors, and staff enforce the dress code at entry. Show up in the wrong clothing, and your visit ends before it starts.
- ✓ Halter tops
- ✓ Bare midriffs
- ✓ Strapless tops
- ✓ Tube tops
- ✓ Underwear-type T-shirts
- ✓ Tank tops
- ✓ Sleeveless shirts or dresses that are inappropriately revealing (for example, if female breast or lingerie can be seen)
- ✓ Fishnet shirts
- ✓ Any shirt or pants made with see-through fabric
Note: The facility expects the offender to communicate dress standards to visitors. Staff enforce the rules at the door - double-check your outfit before you leave home.
You'll go through screening before entering. If you're 16 or older, expect a pat/frisk search plus a scan with an electronic device.
You'll also pass through a metal detector. Think airport-style security - your visit doesn't start until you've cleared screening.
Note: Refuse the search or fail to clear the metal detector, and you'll be denied entry.
Prepare Before Leaving
- ✓ Leave your phone out of the facility (cell phones are contraband) - secure it at home or locked in your vehicle
- ✓ Don’t bring smartwatches, cameras, recording devices, or smart/AI glasses
- ✓ Wear a shirt and shoes (required)
- ✓ Avoid prohibited tops and see-through/fishnet clothing
- ✓ Be ready for screening if you’re 16+ (pat/frisk and electronic-device search)
- ✓ Expect to pass through and clear a metal detector
Tip: When in doubt, dress conservatively and leave electronics at home. It's the easiest way to avoid a wasted trip.
