Find Pasquotank County Inmates

Pasquotank County Jail Lookup

Pasquotank County does not operate a stand-alone county jail roster under a Pasquotank-only jail name. Local pretrial and short-term custody is handled through Albemarle District Jail, a regional jail serving Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Camden Counties. The jail site links its inmate lookup to VINELink, the public custody notification system used with NC SAVAN. The Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office also links VINELink from its official public-safety page, so the same custody-notification path is the practical starting point for a local inmate search.

The Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office remains important because it is the local law-enforcement agency for arrests, warrants, records, and public-safety contacts. Sheriff Tommy Wooten II heads the office at 200 East Colonial Ave. in Elizabeth City. The sheriff page lists patrol, criminal investigations, civil, court security, warrants, narcotics, records, animal control, school resource officers, and other functions. It also links the Most Wanted page, civil department, complaint forms, permits, Project Lifesaver, and VINELink Victim Notification Network.

The Albemarle District Jail homepage shows the custody office, inmate information links, visitation, mail rules, funds, and administration access for the regional facility.

That source matters because Pasquotank County jail custody is routed through this regional facility rather than a separate Pasquotank-only jail database.

Jail and Prison Records

A local inmate lookup and a state offender search answer different questions. Albemarle District Jail and VINELink are the better fit when a person may be in local custody after an arrest, while awaiting court, serving a short jail term, or held for a nearby county that participates in the regional jail. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender searches cover state prison offenders, probationers, parolees, and other DAC data. The DAC page says its search does not include county jail information, so a no-match in DAC does not rule out Albemarle District Jail custody.

Pasquotank County also has a state prison facility, Pasquotank Correctional Institution, at 527 Commerce Drive in Elizabeth City. It is a male close and minimum custody prison with a listed capacity of 896 and a 1996 opening date. That facility is part of the state correctional system, not the county jail. State prison records, probation status, parole status, and older DAC offender history belong in the state search path, not in the Albemarle District Jail lookup.

The Pasquotank Correctional Institution page identifies the state prison facility, capacity, custody level, and facility description.

This distinction keeps a Pasquotank County inmate search from mixing county jail detainees with state prisoners and supervised offenders.

Use the Custody Lookup

VINELink is a custody-notification system, so it should be treated as an inmate-status tool rather than a full booking record. It can help identify whether a person is in custody and can allow registration for custody notifications by phone, email, text, or TTY. It should not be described as a guaranteed mugshot, bond, pod, or charge-detail database because the captured official sources did not confirm those fields for Pasquotank County.

1. Open VINELink from Albemarle District Jail or the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office custody link.
2. Select North Carolina or NC SAVAN if the state view is required.
3. Search by the person's name, and add facility or agency filters when available.
4. Review any matching custody status carefully, including spelling, agency, and release or transfer status.
5. Register for notifications only through the official VINELink process if custody updates are needed.
6. Call Albemarle District Jail or the Sheriff's Office when a local custody question cannot be resolved online.

The Albemarle District Jail administration page lists the administrator, assistant administrator, managers, captains, lieutenants, secretary, and maintenance director.

Those contacts support phone fallback when the public custody lookup does not answer a specific Pasquotank County inmate records question.

Pasquotank Inmate Field Limits

The official research found a key limitation: Albemarle District Jail did not expose a native public roster page in the captured text, and VINELink did not provide a captured Pasquotank sample profile with every field verified. Public custody tools usually focus on status and notifications. Court charge details, bond conditions, first appearances, and dispositions are better verified through the NC eCourts Portal, public terminals, or the Clerk of Superior Court.

Note: Do not assume mugshots, bond amounts, housing units, or detailed charge text are public in the custody tool unless visible in the live official record.

Regional Jail Capacity

Albemarle District Jail has a useful local history because it explains why Pasquotank County inmate records point to a regional jail. Camden, Pasquotank, and Perquimans authorized a study for a regional jail facility in 1969. The original jail was built in 1972 with 44 beds. A 1988 project added 24 cells, and the facility was later allowed to double bunk some cells under North Carolina jail standards, creating a 90-bed rated capacity for male and female detainees across security levels.

Overcrowding led to a larger project in 2006. The current 248-bed facility opened at the Pasquotank County Commerce Park location in 2010 and was built with infrastructure that could support expansion to 500 beds. The jail is managed by a jail administrator who reports to the Albemarle District Jail Commission. Commission members listed in the research include representatives from Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Camden Counties.

The Albemarle District Jail history page describes the regional concept, former jail capacity, current facility, and expansion history.

That history supports the practical search rule: local Pasquotank jail custody should be checked through the regional jail and VINELink, not through a county-only jail roster.

Video Visitation Schedule

All social visits with family, friends, or clergy are conducted by video. Off-site visits require a Securus Online account through Video Visit Anywhere and must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. The research captured a fee of $12.95 per 30-minute off-site video visit. Visitors who want on-site video visits also schedule through the same system, but the public source did not list separate local terminal hours.

The Albemarle District Jail inmate policies page is part of the jail's inmate-information set.

Policy pages should be checked before a visit because jail rules can change faster than court case records or custody lookup entries.

Mail and Inmate Funds

Albemarle District Jail allows inmates to send and receive mail Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Non-legal mail is searched for contraband. Legal mail to or from legal counsel, court officials, or other legitimate legal officials is treated as privileged and is not read unless contraband is suspected. If contraband is suspected, the jail may open it in the inmate's presence and check it without reading the legal content.

Mail should use the inmate's name and the jail address at 210 Executive Drive South, Elizabeth City, NC 27909. Incoming and outgoing mail must include a return address. Cash is not accepted by mail, personal checks are not accepted, and money orders or cashier's checks received by mail are deposited to the inmate account with a receipt. Mail that involves blackmail, extortion, bodily harm, or plans to commit crimes may be turned over to law enforcement.

The jail operates on a cashless inmate-account system. Accounts open at admission and can be used for canteen purchases and other debits. Deposits may be made by credit card through Access Corrections or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Accounts may also be debited for routine non-emergency healthcare appointments, prescriptions, or restitution for damage to county property. When an inmate is released or transferred for more than 24 hours, remaining money is returned by debit card.

The Albemarle District Jail funds page identifies the cashless system, Access Corrections deposit path, mailed money order rules, and account-debit limits. Those fund rules are separate from court fines, court costs, or bond information that may appear in court or clerk records.
