Alamance County Jail Roster
The official jail roster channel is the Alamance County Sheriff's Office P2C Inmate Inquiry. It is branded as a P2C system powered by Superion/OSSI P2C, with navigation for Home, FAQ, Inmate Inquiry, and Quick Links. The roster is the correct starting point for current Alamance County detainees. It is not the right tool for sentenced state prisoners, probationers, parolees, or complete criminal case outcomes.
The inspected P2C data returned current custody records and showed list fields such as display name, primary charge, arrest date, booking agency, booking identifiers, age, date of birth field, sex, race, and link text. The list view did not show mugshots, bond amounts, housing pods, court dates, or warrant numbers. For those gaps, use the Detention Center phone, the criminal court file, or the Clerk of Superior Court depending on the question.
The P2C Inmate Inquiry shows the official inmate inquiry entry point.
That P2C roster is the main web search for current Alamance County jail custody records.
Search Alamance County Inmates
Use the roster first for current custody. Then call the Detention Center if the result is urgent, unclear, or tied to release timing. The ICE facility page also confirms that detainee information for people housed at the facility is available by calling 336-570-6317, with someone available 24 hours a day. For state prison, probation, or parole status, use the N.C. Department of Adult Correction offender search instead of the county jail roster.
- Open P2C Inmate Inquiry and enter a last name, first name, or both if known.
- Use the grid filter if the list is long, especially for common names.
- Review the displayed name, race, sex, age shorthand, primary charge, arrest date, and booking agency.
- Open any linked detail available from the list, but do not assume missing fields mean no court case exists.
- Call the Detention Center at 336-570-6317 for urgent custody, release, transfer, visitation, or property questions.
Alamance County Inmate Search Fields
The P2C roster is more useful when the field limits are clear. The main search accepts name text, while the grid can filter current rows by hidden or visible fields. A person can appear under a full legal name, middle name, or booking display name, so broad searches often work better than an exact full-name guess.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | text | optional | Main search field; pressing Enter triggers search. |
| First Name | text | optional | Main search field; can be paired with last name. |
| Search | button | n/a | Button label is Search. |
| Filter Inmate List | grid search/filter | optional | Advanced jqGrid filter dialog. |
| Name | result column | n/a | Displayed name includes last, first, middle and race/sex/age shorthand. |
| Race | dropdown filter | optional | Options observed included Black and White. |
| Sex | dropdown filter | optional | Options observed included Female and Male. |
| Primary Charge | result column | n/a | Main listed charge for the custody entry. |
| Arrest Date | result column | n/a | Displayed in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Booking Agency | result column/dropdown filter | optional | Example observed: Alamance County Sheriff's Office. |
| Row count | pagination control | optional | 5, 10, 20, 50, or All. |
Alamance County Inmate Record Fields
The roster is a custody snapshot, not a full court record. It can show who is listed in current jail custody and the primary charge tied to the booking. It does not replace the court file kept by the Clerk of Superior Court. For charge history, plea, disposition, sentencing, and costs, the related Alamance County criminal court records are the better source.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| invid / my_num | Internal identifiers visible in the inspected P2C data endpoint. |
| book_id | Booking identifier for the custody record. |
| disp_name | Displayed inmate name with race, sex, and age shorthand. |
| disp_charge / chrgdesc | Primary listed charge or charge description. |
| disp_arrest_date / date_arr | Arrest date shown for the booking. |
| disp_agency / agency | Booking or arresting agency listed in the roster. |
| firstname, lastname, middlename | Name fields used by the roster and hidden filters. |
| age, dob, sex, race | Demographic fields present in the inspected data. |
| Mugshot, bond, housing, court date | Not visible in the inspected list endpoint. |
The P2C disclaimer explains the roster's service terms and update limits.
The disclaimer matters because roster content can change without notice and is not a full court disposition.

Alamance County Custody Channels
Every inmate access channel has a different scope. The county jail roster covers current local custody. The Detention Center phone is the fastest route for urgent release, transfer, visitor, property, mail, or ICE detainee information. The Sheriff's public-records process can be used for booking or agency records not shown online, but warrant records are routed to Clerk or AOC. State custody belongs to a separate state database.
| Need | Channel | Use This For |
|---|---|---|
| Current county custody | P2C Inmate Inquiry | Name, primary charge, arrest date, agency, and current roster status. |
| Urgent custody questions | Detention Center phone | Release, transfer, visitation, mail, property, or ICE detainee confirmation. |
| State prison or supervision | N.C. Department of Adult Correction offender search | State prisoners, probationers, and parolees. |
| Sex offender registry | North Carolina SBI registry | Registry status, not jail custody. |
| Charges and disposition | NC eCourts and Clerk | Court case status, plea, judgment, sentence, and public filings. |
The county's Sheriff's Office performance page describes law-enforcement, court security, civil process, and jail duties.
Those duties explain why custody, court security, and records questions may involve different Sheriff or court contacts.
Alamance County Visitation and Mail
Official visitation schedules, dress-code tables, visitor approval forms, phone-call rates, video-visitation rates, tablet details, attorney-visitation hours, and mail scanning rules were not located on the accessible Sheriff pages during research. Do not rely on copied schedules from non-official sources. Call the Detention Center at 336-570-6317 before visiting, sending mail, arranging attorney access, or sending property.
| Topic | Confirmed Official Detail | Gap / Caution |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not found in official pages inspected | Call 336-570-6317 before visiting. |
| Video visitation | Not found | No vendor should be named without verification. |
| Mail rules | Not found | Do not assume postcard-only, scan-only, or banned-item rules. |
| Phone calls | Not found | No phone vendor was verified in official public sources. |
| Attorney visitation | Not found | Attorneys should contact the Detention Center for current professional visit rules. |
Note: The absence of a public schedule is not proof that visits are unavailable; it means official confirmation is required.
Alamance County Commissary
The official Sheriff resources identify JailCanteen as the commissary portal for the Alamance Detention Center. The accessible JailCanteen page shows account tools such as Sign In, Create an Account, My Cart, Search, Advanced Search, Orders and Returns, and Contact Us. Categories visible in research included Food/Drink, Candy/Pastry, Chips/Snacks, Beverages, Clothing, Hygiene, Miscellaneous, Postal, and Seasonal/Baskets.
The research also found a JailCanteen result snippet showing "Shopping For: Inmate" and a weekly purchase limit of $50.00. Money deposit rules were not fully confirmed, so the safer wording is commissary purchases through the official JailCanteen link with limits confirmed during checkout.
The JailCanteen Alamance portal is the official commissary vendor route linked from Sheriff resources.
Use JailCanteen for commissary access and call the Detention Center for rules not shown in the portal.
Alamance County Inmate App
The Sheriff's mobile app is another official channel for inmate information. The announcement says the app provides quick access to Join Our Team, Animal Control, Schools, Inmate Search, Inmate Information, Contact Us, Submit A Tip, and more. Because the website also has P2C Inmate Inquiry, the app is not the only inmate lookup. It is an added mobile access point for residents who prefer phone-based Sheriff tools.
The app can also support public-safety news, interactive features, and tip submission. A tip channel is not a court record request and does not replace a jail custody call. Use P2C for the roster, the Detention Center for urgent custody facts, and court records for the case outcome tied to listed charges.
