FAQs

How do I visit an inmate at North Central Unit?

Visits usually require advance approval, and visitors may need to be on the inmate’s approved visiting list. Check the facility’s current visiting schedule and rules before traveling, because hours and procedures can change.

What do I need to bring when visiting North Central Unit?

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or state ID. Visitors should follow dress code rules and leave prohibited items, including weapons, drugs, and unauthorized electronics, outside the secure area.

How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?

Inmates usually cannot receive incoming personal calls. They may be able to place outgoing calls or use approved video services through the facility’s contracted provider, and family members may need to set up an account.

How do I send mail to an inmate?

Address mail with the inmate’s full name, ADC number if known, and the facility mailing address. Mail is inspected for safety and must follow rules on allowed items, paper, photos, and prohibited content.

How does the commissary work?

Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as hygiene products, snacks, and writing supplies. Family or friends may be able to add money through the approved deposit system, but fees, limits, and posting times can vary.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at North Central Unit?

Bail is set by a court, not by the facility. Because this is a state correctional facility for sentenced inmates, many people held here are not eligible for bond; questions about bond should be directed to the court, county jail, or sheriff’s office handling the pending case.

What happens during the intake process at North Central Unit and when will the inmate appear in the system?

During intake, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, document property, and complete health and security screening. An inmate may not appear in the public system right away because processing and data entry can take several hours or longer after arrival or transfer.
