Where to Check a Custody or Record Question
Wayne County sources divide jail, sheriff, and court records by custodian. For the jail, start with the detention center. For sheriff administration or sheriff-held records, use the Sheriff's Office. For case files and charges after arrest, use the courthouse or Judicial Branch.
- For a person in local custody, use jail inmate records and the Wayne County Detention Center at 919-731-1660. The public jail and magistrate entrance is 200 Stronach Avenue, Goldsboro, NC 27530.
- For sheriff administration or sheriff-held jail records, contact the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, 207 E. Chestnut Street, Goldsboro, NC 27530, 919-731-1481. Sheriff Larry M. Pierce is listed as the county sheriff in the research source.
- For booking photos, start with jail roster mugshots, then use the sheriff or Wayne County public records process if the image or booking record is not posted online.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest or contact the Wayne County Courthouse / Clerk of Court at 224 E. Walnut Street, Room 230, Goldsboro, NC 27530, 919-722-6100. The Clerk's Office hours listed in the research are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
- For prosecution questions, contact District Attorney District 9, which serves Wayne, Greene, and Lenoir counties. The District Attorney is Matthew Delbridge, and the office phone is 919-722-6200.
- For Wayne County facilities, use the facility pages in the footer for Wayne County Detention Center, Neuse Correctional Institution, and DART Center.
- For a sentenced North Carolina prisoner, probationer, or parolee, use the NCDAC Offender Public Information Search or NCDAC public records resources. NCDAC does not maintain county jail records.
- For federal prison custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No official BOP or ICE detention facility was identified inside Wayne County in the research source.
