If your person of interest is incarcerated in Tyrrell County, the first place to try and locate them is with the Tyrrell County Jail inmate roster. The roster contains information about all inmates currently in the jail, and it is searchable by; 

  • Name

The roster is available on the Tyrrell County Sheriff’s Office website. The roster enables searchers to access information about detainees currently housed there. However, if you cannot locate them using the roster, you can contact the jail administration at 252-796-2251 and provide the details of your inmates. You can also visit the jail’s lobby or the sheriff’s office. 

To locate inmates in the Tyrrell Prison Work Farm, you can visit the NCDPS criminal offender searches tool and search by name or prisoner number. Here you can view the inmates’ full names, charges, release dates, criminal history, and arrest records. 

NC VINELink 

You can also register with NC VINELink when you are a victim of crime to keep track of your offender. NC VINELink is a free resource for crime victims that provides notification to victims when their offender’s incarceration status has changed. VINELink sends notifications by email, phone calls, and at times all. 

Tyrrell County Sex Offender Registry 

To locate sex offenders, you can visit the sheriff’s office and request to view the county’s sex offender register, as the sheriff is the legal custodian of the records on the local level. 

Alternatives 

If you cannot still find your inmates, you can utilize third-party websites that offer access to prison records in the county. These websites are privately owned and managed and are not affiliated with any government agency; furthermore, prisoner records are public records per the NC Freedom of Information. 

Finally, if you are still unable, you can utilize the NC Statewide Inmate Search Database that contains information on all inmates in the state, county, ICE, and federal prisons in the state. 

About Tyrrell County Jail and Others

Tyrrell County Jail 

Tyrrell County Jail is the main jail, and the Tyrrell County Sheriff’s Office operates it. This minimum-medium security facility is located at 405 Main Street, Columbia, NC. The facility is for adult offenders arrested within the county by local law enforcement agencies. 

It acts as the county’s detention center for arrestees who cannot pay or are denied bail in court. In addition, it also houses inmates serving sentences of less than one year for common misdemeanors. The NC Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) also uses the jail to house parole and probation violators. The jail also offers reintegration programs to male convicts despite its jail capacity. 

The jail has around 298 bookings monthly and currently houses around 359 inmates. There are also around 61 correctional officers who take care of these inmates. The jail also offers employment opportunities to inmates as trustees. These trustees work in the kitchen, offices, cleaning, laundry, and maintenance departments. 

Tyrrell Prison Work Farm 

The other jail is the Tyrrell Prison Work Farm, located at 620 Snell Road, Columbia, NC, on 200 acres of land. This jail is a minimum-security jail for male adults and is the second prison work farm to be constructed in NC, and its main purpose is to serve as a facility for inmate labor. 

The NCDPS operates this facility and can house approximately 620 offenders. 

Most offenders at this facility labor on the 103-acre farm or other supported jobs within the jail. This work camp alone can feed many of the inmates housed by the NCDPS through the crops and vegetables these inmates grow and harvest. 

This facility has ten housing sections, ten day rooms, two canteens, ten shower and restroom spaces, medical and programming departments, a barbershop, a library, a classroom, a chaplain’s office, and two control rooms.
