How to Contact an Inmate at Tabor Corrections Inst., NC (NC)

Video visits at Tabor Corrections Institution run through the Getting Out Visits app. Mail works differently than you might expect: non-legal letters don't arrive as paper. Instead, TextBehind screens and scans them, then delivers the content electronically to the incarcerated person's tablet.

Video visits can be on-demand or scheduled for a specific date and time. Your loved one connects from their tablet or a video kiosk inside the facility. You can join from home using a computer with an internet connection, webcam, microphone, and a recent web browser.

Steps

• ✓ Confirm you are on the incarcerated person’s approved visitors list before trying to video visit.
• ✓ Download and set up the Getting Out Visits app.
• ✓ Choose whether you want an on-demand video visit or to schedule one for a future time/date.
• ✓ Decide how you will connect: from home on a computer (with internet, webcam, microphone, and a recent browser), while your loved one uses their tablet or a facility video kiosk.
• ✓ For in-person visiting, schedule an appointment by calling or emailing the prison where the person is housed.

• ✓ For non-legal mail, expect it to be screened and scanned by TextBehind, then delivered electronically to the person’s tablet.
• ✓ Address mail to TextBehind’s processing address (not directly to the prison): include the incarcerated person’s name and OPUS number, plus the full prison name (do not abbreviate), then “P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131.”

Before planning a video visit, confirm that Getting Out Visits is still the platform used at Tabor Corrections Institution. Check whether both on-demand and scheduled visits are available, and find out if your loved one will connect by tablet or facility kiosk.

For in-person visits, verify the current appointment process with the prison directly. Ask for the correct phone number or email for scheduling so you don't waste time reaching the wrong office.

Mail processes change more often than you'd expect. Before sending anything, confirm the current TextBehind scanning process. Double-check the exact addressing format, including the OPUS number and full prison name, and make sure you're using the TextBehind P.O. Box 247 address in Phoenix, Maryland.
