Randolph County Detention Center Inmate Search. Find Someone on the Roster

How to Search

Go to legacyweb.randolphcountync.gov/sheriff/ConfinedInmatesByName.aspx. Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser. Without it, the page will not load correctly.

Enter the person’s first and last name and run the search. The roster shows everyone currently held at Randolph County Detention Center.

What the Search Shows

When you find the person, the record includes:

• Full legal name
• Mugshot
• Charges
• Case numbers
• Bond information

The inmate ID number is not displayed on the public roster. You need this number for JailATM deposits and for addressing mail. Call (336) 318-6625 to ask a staff member for the person’s inmate ID. Have the person’s full name and date of birth ready.

Timing: When Records Appear and Disappear

The roster is not updated instantly. Keep these timelines in mind:

• Newly booked: A person who was just arrested may take several hours to appear. If you know someone was booked recently, wait a few hours and try again.
• Recently released: People who are released are typically removed from the roster within 24 hours. If you can’t find someone you expected to see, they may have been released or transferred.
• Transfers: If the person was moved to another facility, they will no longer appear on the Randolph County roster.

Why Someone Might Not Appear

If the search returns no results, consider these reasons:

• Too soon after booking. Wait a few hours and search again.
• Name spelling. Try alternate spellings or search by last name only.
• They were released. This can happen quickly after a court appearance or bond being paid.
• They were transferred. State-sentenced individuals may be moved to a state DOC facility. Federal detainees may go to a federal facility.
• They’re at the wrong facility. Make sure you’re searching Randolph County Detention Center, not Randolph Correctional Center, which is a separate state prison.

If the search still shows nothing, call (336) 318-6625 and ask staff to check manually.

Getting the Inmate ID Number

The inmate ID is not on the public roster, but you need it for:

• JailATM deposits at deposits.jailatm.com
• Mail to the Greensboro PO Box (goes on the address line along with Facility ID 5165)
• iWebVisit when adding the person to your account

Call (336) 318-6625 and ask for the person’s inmate ID number. Have their full legal name and date of birth ready. Once you have it, write it down somewhere safe.

What to Do After You Find Them

Once you confirm the person is at Randolph County Detention Center:

• Send money through JailATM at deposits.jailatm.com. See the send money guide for steps.
• Schedule a visit through iWebVisit at iwebvisit.com or confirm the in-person pod schedule. See the visitation guide.
• Set up phone calls through Pay Tel at paytel.com. See the phone calls guide.
• Send mail to the PO Box address with the inmate ID and Facility ID 5165. See the mail guide.

Randolph County vs. Randolph Correctional Center

If your search comes up empty, double-check that you’re searching the right facility. Randolph County Detention Center at 811 New Century Drive is the county jail, operated by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office. Randolph Correctional Center is a separate state prison operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. They are different facilities with different rosters. If someone was sentenced to a state term, they may have been transferred to a state DOC facility, not held at the county jail.

Confirm Before Every Visit

Before traveling for any visit, check the roster to confirm the person is still in custody. Transfers and releases can happen without warning. A quick search before you go saves a wasted trip.
