Mountain View CI, NC

Visiting at Mountain View CI follows North Carolina prison processes, which typically include both in-person and video visits—though options vary by facility, so confirm what Mountain View CI offers before making plans. You'll need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list first. This usually means completing an application with your ID and background information, then waiting for approval. The process often starts when the incarcerated person requests blank forms and mails them to people they want to add. You fill them out and return them following the instructions provided. Even after approval, visit type and restrictions may depend on housing, security classification, or disciplinary status.

Start with the right contact for your question. For program- and services-related needs, reach out to Facility Programs and Services Manager Doris Daye at doris.daye@dac.nc.gov. If there's an emergency involving someone at the facility, call 911 immediately. For non-emergency questions about an incarcerated person, use the facility's official contact channels and have the person's full name and offender or booking ID ready so staff can locate the correct records. Court-related case questions? You'll get better help from the county clerk of court or state e‑courts contact options—not the facility. Check Mountain View CI's official pages for current phone numbers, procedures, and any additional designated contacts before calling.

NCDAC offerings at Mountain View include family services and parenting programs, plus rehabilitative options like skills training, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and work or apprenticeship opportunities. These align with common offerings across North Carolina correctional facilities, which often include education, vocational training, and substance-treatment programs.
