Hertford County Contacts

Custody, release, and record questions must go to the office that holds the information. Hertford County Released Inmates is a private reference and not a government office. We cannot confirm whether a person is held or released, pull a jail or court record, correct an agency file, pass a message to someone in custody, or give case advice. The contacts below identify the proper official route for common Hertford County questions.

This private site cannot confirm custody or release. Call the responsible sheriff, court, corrections, or federal office for an official answer.

County Jail and Sheriff

For current local custody, advertised charge information, or conditions of release, contact the Hertford County Detention Center. For an existing entry or release summary, release order, transfer destination, or booking-photo request, address a narrow written request to the Sheriff's Office. No special release-record form, local fee schedule, or promised turnaround is published.

Hertford County Sheriff's Office

PO Box 176
Winton, NC 27986
Office: (252) 358-7800
Detention information: (252) 358-7840
Fax: (252) 358-7870

The sheriff provides law-enforcement service around the clock. That statement is not published records-office hours, so confirm staff availability before visiting.

Court Records and Orders

The Hertford County clerk is the correct source for a judgment, dismissal, bond order, release order, or case-file copy. A court order explains the legal result but may not establish the exact time of physical release.

PO Box 86
Winton, NC 27986
(252) 358-7100

Magistrate contacts are Winton at (252) 358-7829, Murfreesboro at (252) 398-3642, and Ahoskie at (252) 332-5011. Confirm which office handled the order before requesting a copy.

State Prison and Supervision

North Carolina DAC holds state prison and community-supervision information, not Hertford County jail records. Search online first, then use the DAC public-records route for public admission, sentence, time-served, or release information that is not available in the result.

Notifications and Federal Custody

NC SAVAN/VINELink offers custody-status checks and notification registration at 1-877-627-2826. For VINELink system help, call 1-866-277-7477. The service does not replace the source agency's record and does not cover the federal BOP or U.S. Marshals systems.

Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal prison records. ICE detainee-location questions go through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System or the Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern. A federal court docket is the usual public route for a U.S. Marshals pretrial matter because USMS has no public person locator.
