When visiting Northeast Correctional Complex or the Carter County Annex, vehicles must be secured in the parking lot. All doors must be locked and all windows rolled completely up.  Animals may not be left in a vehicle with a window cracked. Failure to fully secure your vehicle may result in your visit being denied.  

Checkpoint Procedures

All visitors must be on the inmate’s approved visiting list or have a pre-approved special visit. Identification will be verified. Before proceeding to any of the visitation areas, all visitors must pass through the checkpoint. 

At times this area becomes crowded and waiting may occur. Please be patient as the officers process visits as quickly as possible. When accessing the NECX Main Compound, visitors must pass through the metal detector and will be frisk-searched by an officer with all items emptied from pockets. 

After the visitor has been searched, the left hand will be stamped in ultraviolet ink. The visitor must show his/her hand under the ultraviolet light to the officer in Central Control or at the checkpoints at each annex before entering the visiting gallery and when exiting at the end of the visit. 

At the checkpoint at the main compound, visitors will be given a visitor's pass. This pass must be presented to an officer at the front desk in the visiting gallery. Visitors will be seated and wait for the inmate to arrive. When the visit is over, the pass is to be given to the checkpoint officer before leaving.
