Offenders
must participate in an orientation upon admission to any NCDPS facility.
The department holds offenders accountable for the information
presented in orientation. The department must provide orientation to
newly-committed offenders within the first 28 days of admission.
Once the orientation is complete, the inmate can get their phone list approved for outbound calls. Local calls will be a flat rate of $1.25. All long distance calls will be a flat rate of $3.40. You can fund it through a company called Global Tel*Link. If you are local, the cost is reasonable, if you are long distance, we can save you the difference. If you are going to talk to your inmate more than twice a week for any period of time, you really should set up a Discount Telephone Line with InmateAid. Email us for details at Aid@inmateAID.com.
