About This Site

Tyrrell County custody research can involve more than one system. A person arrested locally may be handled by the Tyrrell County Sheriff's Office and housed at Washington County Jail, while a sentenced state prisoner belongs in the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction locator. This private reference site brings those local, state, federal, and immigration lookup paths into one organized place.

What This Site Is For

North Carolina law treats many public records as open under G.S. 132-1, and G.S. 132-1.4 identifies public arrest information while keeping criminal investigation records in a different category. The hard part for a Tyrrell County search is knowing which office or locator applies. This site explains the split between local jail custody, NCDAC state prison custody, federal BOP custody, and ICE detention so readers do not treat those systems as one database.

What You Can Use Here

The pages focus on practical record paths for Tyrrell County, North Carolina, with special attention to the county's use of Washington County Jail for local detention.

  • Guidance for jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest.
  • Facility pages for Washington County Jail and Tyrrell Prison Work Farm, with the address, phone, and role of each facility.
  • Steps for checking local custody by phone, using North Carolina VINE, and searching the NCDAC Offender Public Information system for state prisoners.
  • Records-request context for public arrest information and booking details when no official Tyrrell online roster is available.
