Davidson Correctional Center is a minimum custody, ACA-accredited reentry prison in Lexington, Davidson County, North Carolina. It holds 258 male residents and is operated by the NC Department of Adult Correction. The facility traces its roots to the 1931 Conner Bill, when the state took over county prisons across NC. It was renovated as a road-crew field unit in the late 1930s and converted to work release in June 1964, making it one of the oldest continuously active work release programs in the state. Programs include Davidson Community College vocational horticulture training, AA, Yokefellows, Prison Ministries, DART aftercare, and work assignments with DOT road crews, the towns of Mocksville and Davie County, and local businesses through work release. This guide covers how to find someone with the NC OPI inmate search, how to schedule a visit, how to send money through ConnectNetwork, how phone calls work through ViaPath, and how to send mail through TextBehind. All data is verified from NC DAC.
