This is a private reference site, not a Hertford County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visitation, or pull an official booking or court file. Use the official offices below for those requests.
Where to Ask for Records
For a person held at the county jail, the direct public contact is the Hertford County Detention Center at 701 North Taylor Street, Winton, NC 27986. The inmate information line is (252) 358-7840 for public questions about charges and conditions of release or bond. The Hertford County Sheriff's Office main line is (252) 358-7800.
County administrative offices are at 115 Justice Drive, Suite 1, Winton, NC 27986. General county office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with county-noted exceptions for the Law Enforcement Center and Emergency Services.
For court records after an arrest, contact the Hertford County Clerk of Superior Court or courthouse at (252) 358-7100. Court files, hearing dates, dispositions, and certified criminal record searches are handled through the North Carolina Judicial Branch, not the jail.
- For someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and then call the Detention Center inmate information line.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots because Hertford County did not publish an official online mugshot gallery in the reviewed sources.
- For charges, hearings, and dispositions after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the clerk's office.
- For facility-specific context, use the footer links for the Hertford County Detention Center and Rivers Facility.
- For a sentenced North Carolina prisoner, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) offender search or NC SAVAN/VINELink notifications.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS; do not assume Rivers Facility is active ICE custody without official confirmation.
