How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
