How to Visit Tabor Corrections Inst., NC (NC)

Video visits at Tabor Corrections Inst., NC use the Getting Out Visits app. Your loved one connects from their tablet or a video kiosk inside the facility. You can do video visits on-demand or schedule them for a specific date and time. Either way, you must be on the incarcerated person's approved visitors list.

If you plan to video visit from home, you’ll need a personal computer with an internet connection, a webcam, a microphone, and a recent web browser. Getting your tech working before you try to connect can save you a lot of stress on the day of the visit.

In-person visits are by appointment only. Call or email the prison to schedule one. Once you have a date, call the prison the day before to confirm the facility's visitation status. That quick check can save you a wasted trip if something has changed.

Only approved visitors can deposit funds into an offender's account. If you're not on the approved list, your deposit won't go through. For non-legal mail, North Carolina prisons route everything through TextBehind for screening and scanning. Address your letter to TextBehind's P.O. Box in Maryland, and include the offender's name and OPUS number plus the full prison name (don't abbreviate it).
