How to Schedule Your First In-Person Visit at Tabor Correctional Institution

Planning your first visit to Tabor Correctional Institution? Here's the key thing to know: in-person visits are by appointment only. NCDAC facilities also offer video visits, which gives you a backup option if you can't make the trip or you're still working through the approval process.

Your visitor application must be completed and approved before you can schedule anything. No approval, no visit. Start this process early - especially if you're coordinating travel or need to request time off work.

Once approved, schedule your visit by calling or emailing the facility directly. Don't plan on showing up without an appointment - you'll be turned away.

Confirm Day Before

• ✓ Call the prison the day before your scheduled visit to confirm the facility’s visitation status.
• ✓ Confirm your appointment and make sure your visitor application is approved before you head out.

Expect security screening when you arrive. Visitors 16 and older go through a pat/frisk search and an electronic device scan before entering. Refuse the search, and you won't get in - even with an appointment and a long drive behind you.

• ✓ Leave your cell phone out of the facility - cell phones are considered contraband and are prohibited.
• ✓ Dress for a strict dress code, and be ready to pass through and clear a metal detector search.
• ✓ Wear a shirt and shoes; both are mandatory for visitors.

Turned away or found out you're not approved yet? Check your application status first. Visits can't happen until staff have approved your completed application. Contact the facility to confirm where things stand, then reschedule once you're cleared.

Need another way to connect? Video visits are available at NCDAC facilities. You'll need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitors list. Sessions can be on-demand or scheduled in advance through the Getting Out Visits app or a web browser.
