How to Visit Tryell Work Farm (NC)

Here's the rule that catches most people off guard: only approved visitors can deposit funds into an offender's account at Tryell Work Farm. If you're not on the approved list, your deposit can be blocked. This applies even if you're immediate family.

Sending money also means paying transaction fees. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction publishes a Money Transfer Fees schedule (with an entry effective August 1, 2023) that covers deposits to offenders. Check that schedule before you pick a method or decide on an amount.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Confirm you are identified as an approved visitor for the offender before you attempt to deposit funds to their account.
• ✓ Check the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction Money Transfer Fees schedule (effective August 1, 2023) before you send money, so you know what fees apply.

Before counting on a deposit going through, confirm what "approved visitor" actually means for the person you're supporting. Find out how someone gets approved, whether deposits are always restricted to approved visitors, and whether someone else can deposit on an approved visitor's behalf. These details vary, so check with the facility or the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction directly.

Double-check the current Money Transfer Fees schedule too. Look for updates since the August 1, 2023 effective entry. Confirm the current effective date, the exact fees for your chosen method, and which payment options the state accepts. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is your authoritative source.
