Durham Records and Custody Contacts

Choose the office that created the record. Current jail movement belongs with detention or the Sheriff. Court orders and certified case files belong with the clerk. State-prison and supervision records belong with NC DAC.

Use these routes for the matching task:

  • For a released Durham inmate or an official movement record, start with the complete county search and records path.
  • For parole, probation, or post-release status, use Post-Release Supervision and the Durham District 14 office.
  • For a same-day clue, check 24-Hour Releases, then confirm through VINE or detention.
  • For a prison estimate or alert, use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check.
  • For local facility questions, contact the Durham County Detention Facility listed above.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the NC DAC offender search and public-records office.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator, not the county jail list.
