Inmates can work in the Correction Enterprises sewing plant which employs up to 200 workers in a commercial uniform manufacturing plant.

Beyond the secure perimeter, a dedicated team ensures the smooth operation of the facility. From correctional officers maintaining order to food service professionals nourishing inmates, medical and dental staff providing healthcare, and administrative personnel overseeing daily tasks, each plays a vital role. Programs specialists offer rehabilitation opportunities, including substance abuse treatment and GED programs, empowering inmates to seek positive change.

Visitation Information

Visits to NCDPS offenders are by appointment only. Call the prison where the offender is housed to schedule an appointment. Visitors should call the prison the day before a scheduled visit to confirm the facility's visitation status. Also, video visitation now is available at most but not all prisons, so family and friends may be able to do a virtual visit if they prefer. Call the prison for additional information on video visitation at the facility.
Visitation by family and friends is encouraged and can make a positive difference during an offender's time in prison. Prison staff understand the importance of offenders maintaining contact with their family and friends. However, offenders can not be assigned to specific facilities within the prison system for the convenience of visitation.

For more information regarding prisons and visitation, please read the Handbook for Family and Friends of Offenders.
The increased safety and security measures are implemented to address, and ultimately eliminate, the introduction of contraband into state prisons.
