How to Contact an Inmate at Sampson Corrections Inst, Nc (NC)
Want to stay in touch with someone at Sampson Corrections Inst? Your main options are video visits and non-legal mail. Here's how each works, plus the details you need to avoid delays or rejections.
Video visits at Sampson Corrections Inst run through the Getting Out Visits app. You'll use this platform to set up and complete video visits from your phone or computer.
Before planning a video visit, confirm you're eligible. Only people on the incarcerated person's approved visitors list can connect by video. Being a family member or friend doesn't automatically qualify you.
Video visits at Sampson Corrections Inst can be on-demand or scheduled in advance. On-demand availability varies, so plan accordingly depending on which option you choose.
Visiting from home on a computer? You'll need an internet connection, a webcam, a microphone, and a recent web browser. Get these set up before your visit to avoid last-minute tech problems.
For letters and other non-legal mail, Sampson Corrections Inst uses TextBehind. Your mail gets screened and scanned, then delivered electronically to the incarcerated person's tablet.
Mailing address rule: Your envelope must be addressed exactly as TextBehind requires: the offender's name, OPUS number, full prison name, plus TextBehind's P.O. Box 247 in Phoenix, MD 21131. Get any detail wrong, and it comes back to you.
Don't want to mail a physical letter? TextBehind also has an app and website where you can submit letters electronically and upload photos from your phone or computer.

Same goes for mail: verify TextBehind handles non-legal mail and double-check the exact addressing format (including OPUS number and full facility name) so your letter doesn't bounce back.
Video visit not working? First, check your visitor status. Only approved visitors can connect, and you may need to confirm whether to use on-demand or scheduled visits. If you're on a computer, make sure your webcam and microphone work, your internet is stable, and your browser is up to date.
Tip: Sending letters or photos electronically? Confirm you're using TextBehind's approved submission method for this facility and follow their upload requirements.
