Caswell Correctional Center Overview
Caswell Correctional Center is operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. The DAC facility page lists it at 444 County Home Road in Blanch and identifies the facility type as Male - Medium Custody. It is for sentenced adult male offenders in state custody. It is not the place to search for a person who has just been arrested in Caswell County and is waiting on bond, first appearance, or trial.
The official DAC page lists the facility phone as 336-694-4531, offender capacity as 460, and Warden David Cassady as the warden captured in the research. The page also links to state prison resources for visiting, sending mail, sending money, and sending packages. Those state resources control prison contact rules. County jail Pay Tel remote visitation rules should not be used for Caswell Correctional Center.
The NC DAC facility listing is shown in this source image from the official Caswell Correctional Center page.
The source matters because it confirms the prison address, phone, custody level, capacity, warden, and program information without mixing state prison custody with the county jail.
Caswell Correctional Center Capacity
NC DAC lists Caswell Correctional Center with an offender capacity of 460. That number is a state prison capacity, not the Caswell County jail population. The prison may house people from across North Carolina, and those prisoners are not counted as local county pretrial detainees just because the prison is physically located in Caswell County.
The research did not locate a current public headcount for the prison on the facility page. Use the capacity number as a facility descriptor, not as proof that a named person is or is not housed there.
Search Caswell Correctional Center Inmates
Use the NC DAC Offender Public Information Search for Caswell Correctional Center inmate lookup. NC DAC says the search covers state prison offenders, probationers, parolees, and historical information back to 1972. It also says the database does not include county jail information. That exclusion is important in Caswell County because the sheriff-run detention center and the state prison are two different custody systems.
Search by last name, first name, middle initial, offender number, status, race, gender, ethnic group, birth date, or age range. Use Active Inmate if the person is believed to be in prison now. Use All if the person may have been released, moved to supervision, or appears only in older state correctional history.
- Open the NC DAC offender search and choose the status that fits the search, such as Active Inmate or All.
- Enter the offender number if known, or search by last name and first name.
- Use date of birth or age range only when needed to narrow common names.
- Review the result for the person's custody status and listed location.
- If the person is not in DAC, check the county jail app or detention phone for a recent local arrest.
If a person was recently arrested in Caswell County, Caswell County Detention Center is the local jail path before any state prison transfer.
Caswell Correctional Center Contact
The contact card below is for the state prison only. Do not use it for pretrial county jail custody, bond, local court dates, or sheriff records. The county jail is in Yanceyville; the state prison is in Blanch. Mixing the two addresses can send visitors, mail questions, and inmate searches to the wrong office.

Caswell Correctional Center Programs
NC DAC gives more program detail for Caswell Correctional Center than local sources give for the county jail. Offenders may be assigned to facility work assignments. Piedmont Community College provides vocational courses at the prison, including welding, HVAC technology, horticulture, and industrial maintenance technology. These are state prison programs for sentenced offenders, not services documented for county jail detainees.
Education services are also described. Offenders with less than a high school education may participate in GED preparatory classes or remedial education. The DAC page also notes opportunities for Bible study and worship services. Program availability can depend on custody status, classification, staffing, disciplinary status, and current prison schedules.
| Program Area | Documented Caswell Correctional Center Detail |
|---|---|
| Work assignments | Facility work assignments may be available |
| Vocational training | Piedmont Community College welding, HVAC technology, horticulture, and industrial maintenance technology |
| Education | GED preparatory classes and remedial education for qualifying offenders |
| Religious activity | Bible study and worship services |
Caswell Correctional Center Visitation
State prison visitation is controlled by NC DAC, not by the county jail's Pay Tel schedule. The Caswell Correctional Center facility page links to DAC visiting resources, so visitors should follow state approval, scheduling, identification, dress, and conduct rules. A person may need to be on an approved visitor list before a visit can be scheduled.
Because the facility page did not publish a local day-by-day visiting table in the captured research, do not invent a fixed weekday schedule. Confirm approval, current visit status, and any facility limits through the prison or the linked DAC visiting resource before travel.
| Topic | State Prison Rule Path |
|---|---|
| Visit authority | North Carolina Department of Adult Correction |
| Scheduling | Use DAC visiting resources and facility instructions |
| Approval | Only approved visitors should expect to schedule visits |
| County jail Pay Tel schedule | Does not apply to Caswell Correctional Center |
Note: Call the facility before traveling because prison visitation can change due to approval status, custody status, staffing, or facility operations.
Caswell Correctional Center Money
NC DAC money rules apply at Caswell Correctional Center. Prison deposits are handled through ViaPath and ConnectNetwork, toll-free phone services, Western Union, or money order to TouchPay. Only approved visitors may deposit funds to an offender account. Prison facilities do not process money orders, so a mailed money order must go to the TouchPay address with the required deposit slip.
| Deposit Method | NC DAC Detail |
|---|---|
| Online ConnectNetwork | Credit or debit card; funds typically available next business day |
| ConnectNetwork mobile app | Available through Apple App Store and Google Play |
| Toll-free phone | AdvancePay 800-483-8314; Trust 888-428-1845; PIN Debit 888-428-1845 |
| Western Union | Cash deposit at a Western Union location; trust payment code NCDAC TRUST |
| Money order | Payable to TouchPay and mailed with deposit slip to TouchPay Holdings, LLC, PO Box 174, Houston, TX 77001-0174 |
| Assistance | ViaPath toll-free assistance at 877-650-4249 |
The NC DAC send-money page lists fees by deposit amount and channel. Money order fees were listed as $0.00 in the captured table, while online, phone, and Western Union deposits had fee amounts that vary by deposit size.
Caswell Correctional Center Mail and Packages
The facility page links to DAC resources for sending mail and packages. Use those state prison resources rather than county jail package instructions. The Caswell County Detention Center package program starts September 3, 2025 and uses Access Catalog, but that rule belongs to the sheriff-run jail in Yanceyville, not to the state prison in Blanch.
Before mailing items, confirm the current DAC mail format, approved package vendor, offender identification requirements, and any restrictions for books, publications, photos, cards, funds, and legal mail. State prisons can reject mail or packages that do not meet policy, and local staff may not process money orders at the prison.
- State prison
- A DAC facility for sentenced offenders, separate from local pretrial detention.
- Approved visitor
- A person approved under DAC rules, which also matters for depositing funds.
- Offender number
- A state corrections identifier that can narrow searches and help route prison mail.
- Post-release supervision
- State supervision after prison release, searchable through DAC when public records apply.
Caswell Jail vs State Prison
Caswell County has two facilities that readers often confuse. The county detention center is run by the sheriff and handles recent local arrests, first appearances, bond status, short local jail sentences, and local custody records. Caswell Correctional Center is a DAC prison for sentenced adult males. A person can move from the county jail to a DAC prison after sentencing, but the public lookup path changes after transfer.
| Question | County Detention Center | Caswell Correctional Center |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | Caswell County Sheriff's Office | NC Department of Adult Correction |
| Primary custody | Recent arrests, pretrial, local jail sentences | Sentenced adult male state prisoners |
| Lookup path | Sheriff app, detention phone, records, VINE | NC DAC offender locator |
| Visitation | Pay Tel remote family and friend visits | DAC prison visitation approval and scheduling |
| Money | Access Corrections and county jail deposit paths | ConnectNetwork, Western Union, phone, or TouchPay money order path |
Caswell Correctional Center Notifications
North Carolina VINE/VINELink is the cross-system notification path. NC DAC says NC SAVAN/VINE provides free confidential notifications about offender custody status to victims, family members, and circles of support. It can include county jail inmates, state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and registered sex offenders.
VINE is a notification system, not a full substitute for the DAC locator or the facility phone. Use it to receive custody-status updates, then verify facility-specific visiting, mail, money, and release details through DAC or the prison when action must be taken.
Note: Confirm custody in the DAC locator before relying on mail, money, or visit rules for Caswell Correctional Center.
