How to Schedule a Visit at Pamlico Correctional (NC) — Appointment Steps and Who to Contact

In-person visits at Pamlico Correctional are appointment-only. You can't just show up. This is how it works across all North Carolina prisons: call or email the facility to schedule, then confirm the day before your visit. That extra step matters. Schedules change, and staff can tell you whether visits are still running as planned.

Prepare Before Call

• ✓ The incarcerated person’s full name (as the prison has it) and any identifying information you have for them
• ✓ Your full name and your relationship to the person you want to visit
• ✓ Your phone number and email address (so staff can reach you if something changes)
• ✓ A couple of date/time options you can make, in case your first choice isn’t available
• ✓ A question to ask on the call: whether Pamlico requires any facility-specific forms or approvals before you can schedule

To schedule, contact the prison directly - by phone or email - to set your appointment. Having trouble finding the right number? Start with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) prison visitation information and work from there. The key point: scheduling goes through the specific facility where your loved one is housed, not a general third party.

• ✓ NCDAC street address (for in-person or official correspondence)
• ✓ NCDAC mailing address (for mail sent to the agency)
• ✓ NCDAC main phone number
• ✓ NCDAC relay/TTY number

1. Call the prison the day before - Ask staff to confirm the facility’s visitation status for your scheduled day.
2. Confirm your appointment details - Verify the date and time you’re expected to arrive so you don’t get turned away for being on the wrong schedule.
3. Ask about anything that could block entry - Check whether there are any special entry requirements or temporary closures that would affect visitors.

If you're stuck - no callback, can't find the right contact, or getting conflicting instructions - keep the issue in the right lane. Visitation questions go to the prison where the person is housed, or to NCDAC's central office. Payment-platform support (like services for account funding) can't schedule prison visits for you. For statewide help, NCDAC lists a street address, mailing address, main phone number, and relay/TTY number for central inquiries.
