While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

The history of New Hanover Correctional Center dates back to 1915 when the first permanent county prison was constructed in New Hanover County. Initially built to accommodate 200 county prisoners, the facility underwent expansions and renovations over the years, including the addition of modular dormitories in 1978 and the construction of new dormitories in 1988 and 1992.
In 1931, with the passage of the Conner Bill, New Hanover became one of the county prisons for which the state assumed responsibility. Throughout the late 1930s, it was one of the field unit prisons renovated or built to accommodate inmates engaged in road-building projects.
The prison's facilities continued to evolve, with upgrades such as the addition of a 50-bed dormitory in 1987 and another 250 beds as part of a larger construction program in 1989. Inmates were housed in a remodeled original building equipped with classrooms and office space, providing improved facilities for educational and administrative purposes.
Today, New Hanover Correctional Center remains committed to its mission of facilitating inmate rehabilitation and re-entry into society. Through its educational programs, vocational training initiatives, and work release opportunities, the facility strives to equip inmates with the skills and resources necessary for successful reintegration into their communities.
NHCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
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.
