Use the custody type to choose the right channel before calling or searching.
- For a person held in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Craven County Detention Center phone line.
- For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots and ask the records unit if the public roster does not show what you need.
- For charges and case events after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, the courthouse, or the District Attorney contact.
- For a specific local or state facility, use the facility links in the footer for the Craven County Detention Center or Craven Correctional Institution.
- For a sentenced North Carolina prisoner, use the NC DAC Offender Public Information search.
- For federal or immigration custody, check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
