Wake County Inmate Search & Jail Records

The Sheriff's Office Detentions Division generates Wake County inmate records for each person booked into one of the county's correctional centers. They indicate the circumstances of the person's booking, including the alleged offense, the arresting agency, and the person's current custody status.

Combined, the county jails house approximately 1530-1580 inmates. People can find who these inmates are at any given time through the official Inmate Inquiry catalog, which can be sorted alphabetically, by arrest date, or by charge. This online roster informs the public about an arrestee's identity, charges, custody or bond status, and court appearance schedule.
