How to Contact an Inmate at Piedmont Correctional (NC)

Like other NCDAC prisons, Piedmont Correctional requires appointments for in-person visits. Call or email the facility directly to schedule one.

Even with an appointment confirmed, call the prison the day before you plan to go. A quick check ensures visitation is still running as expected, so you don't make the trip for nothing.

Mail works differently than you might expect. Non-legal letters and photos sent to people in NCDAC facilities get screened and scanned by TextBehind, then delivered electronically to the recipient's tablet.

Physical letters must be addressed to TextBehind's P.O. Box 247 in Phoenix, Maryland. Include the offender's name, OPUS number, and the full prison name (no abbreviations). Miss any of these details, and your letter gets returned.

Don't want to deal with postal mail? TextBehind has an app and website where you can submit letters and upload photos electronically. Everything still goes through screening before delivery.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Schedule an in-person visit as an appointment, since walk-ins are not allowed.
• ✓ Call or email Piedmont Correctional (the prison where your person is housed) to set the appointment.

• ✓ Call the prison the day before your scheduled visit to confirm the facility’s visitation status.

• ✓ Send non-legal mail through TextBehind, since it is screened and scanned before delivery.
• ✓ Address physical mail to: P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131.
• ✓ Include the offender’s name and OPUS number, plus the full name of the prison (do not abbreviate).
• ✓ If you prefer, use TextBehind’s app or website to submit letters and photos electronically for scanning and delivery to the person’s tablet.

Before traveling for a visit, confirm with Piedmont Correctional that appointments are still required and get the correct phone number or email for scheduling. Then call again the day before your appointment to verify visitation is running normally.

Mail procedures can change, so double-check the current process before sending anything. Confirm TextBehind is still handling screening for NCDAC facilities, and verify the exact address format: offender name, OPUS number, and full prison name (no abbreviations), sent to P.O. Box 247 in Phoenix, Maryland. If you're sending photos or using electronic submission, review the current options in the TextBehind app or website first. You'll want to know what formats are accepted before you upload or mail anything.
