How to Send Mail to Someone at Tabor Correctional Institution (TextBehind rules)

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.

What Happens to Your Original Letters After You Mail Them to 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.
