What to Expect During No-Contact Visits at Polk CI (NC)
No-contact visits can feel unfamiliar the first time. Here's what to expect at Polk CI—where to go and what "no-contact" actually means once you're there.
The visiting area at Polk CI is in the administration building. Head there when you arrive.
All visits at Polk CI are no-contact. A window separates you from the prisoner - you can see each other, but you won't share the same space. You'll talk using a telephone mounted at your booth. No physical contact is allowed.
Only people on the prisoner's approved visiting list can visit. Even then, prison managers have final say - approval and access depend on what the facility permits when you show up.
Expect the entire visit to stay strictly no-contact. You'll sit in the administration building, see your loved one through a window, and communicate by phone - not across a table. If you were hoping for a hug, a handshake, or to pass something back and forth, adjust that expectation now. Polk CI doesn't allow any physical contact during visits.
Before you travel: Call the facility to confirm visiting hours, any scheduling requirements, and what ID you'll need. These details can change - and showing up without the right paperwork means you won't get in.
