Richmond Corrections Facility uses TextBehind to manage incoming postal mail rather than processing everything onsite. The vendor screens and scans mail at an offsite facility to catch contraband before it reaches inmates. Like many North Carolina jails, non-legal letters get scanned and delivered digitally—originals aren't handed over. Packages and publications follow different rules and may need to go directly to the facility or through approved vendors. One thing to know: the vendor only holds original letters briefly. If you want yours back, request it quickly. To avoid delays, follow the vendor's required address format exactly and include the inmate's ID number and the facility's full name.
Looking for someone connected to Richmond Corrections Facility? Start with the NC DOC Offender Search—North Carolina's public lookup tool for people in the state corrections system. You can search by name or offender number, then narrow results using the Offender Status filter (all, active inmate, active probationer/parolee, or inactive). Additional filters help cut down on wrong matches: gender, race/ethnic group, birth date, and age range. Name searches often support partial or "sounds like" matching, though you may need at least one letter in the first-name field for results to appear. Results typically show identifiers (PID/JID), demographics, birth date, charges, and custody status. Update timing can vary.

Yes. Richmond Corrections Facility uses TextBehind to manage incoming postal mail and inmate communications.
Mail & LettersLetters are typically screened and scanned by an offsite vendor and delivered digitally to the inmate. Originals are usually held only briefly, so you’ll need to request a return within the vendor’s allowed window if you want the physical letter back.
Mail & LettersUse the vendor’s required address format and include the inmate’s ID number and the facility’s full name. Non-legal mail is generally sent through USPS or submitted through the vendor’s app/web process, following the vendor’s instructions.
Mail & LettersUse the NC DOC Offender Search and enter the person’s name or offender number. Then use the Offender Status filter to view all records or limit results to active inmates, active probationers/parolees, or inactive records.
Inmate LookupYou can search by first and last name or offender number, and refine results using gender, race/ethnicity, birth date, and an age-range filter. Name searches may also support partial or “sounds like” matches to catch alternate spellings.
Inmate LookupNo. The NC DOC Offender Search covers state inmates, probationers, and parolees, but it does not include county jail rosters. For Richmond County jail detainees, check the Richmond County sheriff’s website for local jail listings and booking information.
