Correctional Development Center – Male (CDM)

Confirm the current video-visit service

The Sheriff's current account page directs families to JailATM for video visits. An older linked scheduling article describes Securus. Because those instructions differ, confirm the active service and select the exact facility before creating a paid booking.

Ask about your housing unit's available sessions, approval requirements, identification, children, cancellation and refunds. A timetable or lobby restriction for another Davidson facility does not establish this facility's rules.

No CDM session timetable published

The current CDM page does not publish a recurring CDM session timetable or price. Visitors should rely on the current scheduling portal and facility confirmation rather than another Davidson facility's hours.

Housing and facility role

CDM provides minimum-security male housing. Its programs include the Sheriff's Anti-Violence Effort, New Avenues alcohol/drug treatment, education and vocational training. It is a different building from CDF and MCC.

Set up an ICSolutions account

Use ICSolutions online or call (888) 506-8407. Have the recipient's facility name and the name, address and designated telephone number for the person receiving calls ready.

The reviewed public sources do not provide a current call-rate table. Review the account type, fees and final charge before adding credit.

Address personal letters with the OCA number

DCSO says the OCA appears as CONTROL_NUMBER in official inmate-search results. Money orders must be mailed separately from inmate correspondence. Legal mail follows DCSO's attorney-verification process.

Cards, photographs and reading material

Mail is scanned for delivery on tablets and kiosks. Use ordinary letters or standard cards; glitter and other embellishments are rejected. The posted photo rule says “35mm” pictures only and bans nudity or pornography; ask DCSO about acceptable print specifications before ordering photos.

Do not enclose stamps, envelopes or other commissary supplies. Emergency packages and mailed publisher/bookstore reading material are not accepted. Legal correspondence is checked with the named attorney or firm.

Keep access to scanned letters after release

Released recipients have 30 days to download scanned correspondence using their mail-recovery PIN. The PIN is created while in custody; the case manager can help with changes.

Remote and telephone deposits

DCSO lists CorrectPay.com or JailATM.com for commissary deposits. Published telephone options are CorrectPay (855) 836-3364 and JailATM (636) 888-7004; DCSO says the account must first be set up online for telephone deposits.

Lobby kiosks

DCSO identifies cash/card deposit kiosks in the public areas of DDC and the Correctional Development Center. This does not establish a kiosk at every Harding Place facility. Confirm the kiosk destination and access hours before traveling.

Postal money orders

Send a postal money order separately from ordinary correspondence, using the person's name and OCA number. Do not combine it with a letter.

Cash deposits at a retailer

CashPayToday provides registration and a deposit barcode for participating retailers. Confirm the specific location participates before traveling; a chain name alone does not establish service at every store.

Arrange help before traveling

For property collection, release pickup or a family medical concern, call the facility and ask for the responsible staff member. The reviewed public page does not establish a dedicated counter, pickup timetable or medical-message line. Ask about visitor parking and accessible entry before an in-person trip.
