How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before planning a visit at Surry County Jail, confirm whether the facility offers in-person visits, video visits, or both—availability and rules vary across North Carolina facilities. Most require you to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list before scheduling. The process usually starts when the incarcerated person requests forms and mails them to the people they want to add. You'll provide identification and background information, then wait for approval. Contact vs. non-contact visits often depend on housing, status, and facility rules. People in segregation, for example, are typically limited to non-contact visits. Before you travel, check the facility's official visiting page for current hours, scheduling steps, acceptable ID, and dress-code requirements.
