Information You Need to Locate an Inmate at Wayne County Detention Center

Before we begin discussing the various tools to help you locate your loved one, let's quickly clarify that you'll need to have some vital identifying information on hand to do so. This information includes:

  • our loved one's full legal name (first, middle, and last).
  • Their date of birth.
  • The state in which they're being held.
  • Note that some tools may suggest or require additional information from you about your loved one, depending on individual circumstances.

As we go through this list, we'll cover what this information is and where it's applicable. Now, for the inmate location tools.

The Bureau of Prisons Website

The Bureau of Prisons allows you to search its database of federal prisoners to locate your loved one and uncover their contact information. Note that this database includes only inmates held in federal prisons — we'll get to smaller prisons and jails in a moment. The BOP's database also provides information regarding inmates who have been released, dating back to 1982. When using the BOP's search tool, you can search for a prisoner by name or by a variety of identification numbers. First, let's search for an inmate using their name: Again, searching for a common name without any additional information leads to numerous search results. Also, note that the search engine limits the number of results to 100, meaning many other inmates with the name John Smith didn't even show up.

You can also narrow down your search by including your loved one's race, age, and sex. As this search tool doesn't offer any advanced search features, you may need to include this information to see fewer than 100 results. You can also search for a federal inmate using several different identification numbers, such as:

  • BOP Register Number
  • DCDC Number
  • FBI Number
  • INS Number

These identification numbers, of course, belong solely to your loved one so using this method is the best way to generate accurate results from the BOP's site.

North Carolina Government Sites

The BOP's search tool only shows results for federal inmates. To find an inmate who is held in a local jail or a North Carolina state prison, you will need the North Carolina state website or the Wayne County Detention Center site. Many facilities require the use of an inmate ID number. Check with the Wayne County Detention Center to find out what other information you may use on their website to locate your loved one.
