Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Staying in touch with someone at Tabor Corrections usually starts with video visitation. The facility uses the Getting Out Visits app, and sessions are limited to approved visitors. Depending on availability and your approval status, you can schedule a visit ahead of time or start one on-demand from home or at facility kiosks. If you prefer in-person visits, Tabor handles those by appointment only, so schedule and confirm in advance. Phone, video, and messaging services run through third-party vendors, which means creating an account in the vendor app or portal. For paid features, add funds through the vendor portal and follow their scheduling and approval rules.

Staying in touch with someone at Tabor Corrections Institution comes down to two main options: video visits through the Getting Out Visits app, and mail that gets scanned by TextBehind and delivered to the person's tablet.
Mail a personal letter, photo, or greeting card to someone at Tabor Correctional Institution and it won't go straight to the prison. It goes to TextBehind first for screening and scanning, then gets delivered electronically.
Regular (non-legal) mail to someone at Tabor Correctional Institution doesn't go straight to the prison mailroom. North Carolina's prison system uses TextBehind to screen and scan non-legal mail, then deliver it electronically to the person's tablet. That's why the addressing rules are so strict—your envelope routes to TextBehind first, not Tabor.
Mail sent to people at Tabor (and other NCDAC prisons) doesn't arrive as paper. TextBehind screens and scans everything you send—letters, greeting cards, photos, artwork—and converts it into digital images. Those images get forwarded to the prison, where your loved one can view them on their tablet.
