Jones County Jail Roster Overview
The official Jones County NC sources reviewed for this project did not publish a current inmate roster, booking report, recent-release list, inmate profile page, or mugshot gallery. The county detention page does publish operational details for the Jones County Detention Center, including medical care, mail, money orders, commissary, and Pay Tel remote video visitation. That means a current custody check should be treated as a direct jail inquiry, not as a form search.
The Jones County Detention Center is the only local jail found in the facility map. It is run by the Jones County Sheriff's Office and should not be confused with online rosters from Jones County Mississippi, Georgia, Iowa, or Texas. For Jones County, North Carolina, the local jail handles pretrial custody and local sentences. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through NCDAC. Federal and immigration custody use BOP and ICE systems.
Search Jones County Jail Records
Because there is no official online roster form, the search process is a fallback chain. Start with the detention center when the question is current custody. Move to the clerk or NC eCourts Portal when the question is formal charges, court dates, warrants, or case status. Use NCDAC, VINE, BOP, and ICE only when the person may be outside county jail control.
- Call Jones County Detention Center at 252-565-4899 or 252-448-7091 and ask whether the person is in current local custody.
- Have the person's full name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- If the person was just arrested, allow intake time because Jones County does not publish a roster update schedule.
- For charges and hearing dates, use the Jones County Clerk of Superior Court at 252-448-6220 or NC eCourts Portal.
- If the person was sentenced or moved, search NCDAC Offender Public Information Search, NC VINE, BOP, or ICE ODLS as the facts require.
Important: A court case, a jail booking, a state prison record, and an immigration detention record are separate records held by separate agencies.
Jones County Roster Fields
The research did not locate a public Jones County NC jail roster form, so there are no official local online search fields to reproduce. The fields below describe the practical inquiry routes and the identity details likely needed for a phone or counter check.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No public Jones County NC jail roster found | N/A | N/A | Official county pages did not expose a search form. |
| Phone inquiry | Phone | Identity details likely needed | Use name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known. |
| In-person inquiry | Counter / in person | Unspecified | Use the detention center and courthouse address; bring ID. |
| Court terminal or Portal | Name, case number, county | Optional fields vary | For formal charges, hearing dates, and court records after arrest. |
The official court-records help page says criminal cases can be searched at public terminals by defendant name, case number, or victim and witness name. Portal and court-date services also support name, citation number, county, case number, attorney, and court-date paths for case information.
Jones County Inmate Profile Details
No public Jones County booking profile was available to inventory, so the safest record inventory comes from the county's operational rules. These fields appear in mail, money, medical, and visitation procedures and can help a caller ask the jail the right questions.
| Field / Item | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Used for custody confirmation, mail, and money orders. |
| Inmate ID Number | Required in the scanned-mail address format. |
| Facility ID #5104 | Required for the Greensboro mail-processing address. |
| Custody location | Jones County Jail or Detention Center. |
| Medical sick call | Inmates can request sick-call forms; the county lists a $20 sick-call fee if seen. |
| Prescription medication charge | The county lists $10 for prescription medications. |
| Commissary account | Money orders payable to Jones County Jail can be credited to an inmate account. |
| Pay Tel visitation | Remote video visits may be cancelled if the inmate is in court or transferred. |
Booking charges should be confirmed through the court process once a case is filed. Initial jail information can be broader, narrower, or different from the charge language used by the prosecutor in District or Superior Court.
Jones County Custody Systems
A Jones County inmate records search should match the custody type. The county jail is the first route for current pretrial or local custody. NCDAC states that its public offender database covers state prison offenders, probationers, and parolees, with current and historical state information back to 1972. It does not include county jail information. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present, and ICE ODLS is a detainee-location tool.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local sentence | Jones County Detention Center phone or in person | State prison, federal, or immigration custody |
| State prison, probation, parole | NCDAC Offender Public Information Search | Fresh county jail bookings |
| Custody notices | NC VINE | Full booking profile or court file |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | County jail detainees not in BOP custody |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | County mugshots or court records |
NCDAC public-records guidance says many prison records are confidential except basic conviction, sentence, time-served, admission, and release information. That is a state-prison record rule, not a Jones County jail roster rule.
Jones County Jail Facility
The Jones County Detention Center is a 21-bed jail in the basement of the Jones County Courthouse. The original 18-bed section was built with the courthouse in 1939, and a 3-bed female section was added in 2009. The sheriff page names Sheriff Matthew J. Wineman and Detention Center Administrator Jason Jarman.

Jones County Booking Process
Jones County does not publish a detailed booking manual. The researched pathway is based on the jail page, court contacts, and North Carolina court structure. After arrest by the sheriff's office, Maysville Police Department, Highway Patrol, or another agency serving Jones County, the person may be transported to the Jones County Jail if not released by citation or another immediate process. Intake includes identity work, charge or warrant basis, property control, medical screening, and classification.
Medical screening is a distinct part of Jones County jail operations. Southern Health Partners provides medical care. A contract nurse visits 20 hours per week, and an on-call nurse provides instructions at other times. Family members should not expect officers to discuss inmate medical conditions because the county cites medical privacy limits. Magistrates, the clerk, and court records then become important for release conditions, court dates, and charge status.
- Booking
- The administrative intake process after arrest.
- First appearance
- An early court event where rights, charges, and release conditions may be addressed.
- Bond
- A financial or nonfinancial release condition set by a judicial official.
- No-bond hold
- A custody status where release is blocked until court action or another hold clears.
Jones County Visitation Rules
Jones County lists remote video visitation through Pay Tel Communications, Inc. The county did not publish an on-site visitation schedule or a full remote schedule in the researched stable page. It does list conduct rules that can end or block a visit, including nudity, gang signs, terminal or phone abuse, recording devices, disruptive profanity, an under-18 visitor alone, intoxication, driving while visiting, no-contact-order issues, weapons display, falsified ID, contraband attempts, or behavior that threatens security.
| Visit Item | Jones County Detail |
|---|---|
| Vendor | Pay Tel Communications, Inc. |
| Visit type | Remote video visitation described by the county page. |
| On-site schedule | Not published in researched official page. |
| Remote schedule | Not published in researched official page. |
| Cancellation | Visit may be cancelled if inmate is in court or transferred; county says visitor receives an email credit coupon. |
| Minors | Under 18 visiting alone is a listed termination reason. |
Confirm custody before scheduling because a court trip, transfer, release, or hold can change whether a visit can occur.
Jones County Mail and Funds
Jones County changed non-legal mail handling on June 15, 2024. Regular non-legal mail is no longer accepted at the jail unless it qualifies as legal mail. Approved non-legal mail must route through the Greensboro processing address, where it is scanned for tablet access and the physical mail is destroyed. Legal mail may be opened in the inmate's presence to search for contraband.
| Service | Jones County Rule |
|---|---|
| Regular mail | Jones County Jail, Inmate Name, Inmate ID Number, Facility ID# 5104, PO Box 18247, Greensboro, NC 27419. |
| Legal mail | May be sent to the jail when it qualifies as legal mail. |
| Page limit | Ten pages or less per envelope, no larger than 8.5 x 11. |
| Commissary | Oasis Management Systems, Inc. provides weekly commissary. |
| Money orders | Payable to Jones County Jail; may be dropped off Monday-Friday 8am-5pm or mailed to the detention center. |
| Pay Tel photos | Photos sent through Pay Tel Connect cost $0.25 per approved photo, charged to sender. |
Note: Commissary money is not bond money; confirm bond directions with the jail, magistrate, clerk, or an authorized bondsman.
Jones County Records Requests
No dedicated sheriff records-request web form was located on the official Jones County sheriff pages. For booking or arrest-related records, use the sheriff's office or detention center phone and in-person channels. For court charges, use the clerk, courthouse public terminal, or NC eCourts Portal. For prison records, use NCDAC and its public-records process.
North Carolina G.S. 132-1 broadly defines public records, and G.S. 132-1.4 treats law-enforcement investigative records differently while making certain arrest information public. A request may produce basic arrest facts while a complete investigative file may remain withheld unless a court or legal process requires release.
