Choose the Right Office
The needed office changes with the question:
- For a released person or county release record, start with the complete search and request path.
- For parole, probation, or post-release supervision, use NCDAC Offender Public Information and the state supervision office directory.
- For same-day activity, the county has no verified public feed; call Processing or request the dated entry.
- For a state sentence, contact NCDAC at 214 West Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27603, or 919-733-2126.
- For Rutherford Correctional Center, call 828-286-4121 at 549 Ledbetter Road in Spindale.
- For release alerts, call NC SAVAN at 1-877-627-2826 or use the North Carolina VINELink person search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator for that specific custodian.
