Carteret County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking or release record. Contact the agency that created or now holds the record.

County Jail and Sheriff
Use the detention number for a current-status discrepancy, an exact release-or-transfer question, or help with the Sheriff's inmate portal. Use the general Sheriff contact to confirm the current route for a formal booking, release-summary, or booking-photo request.

Court and State Prison
The Carteret County Clerk handles court case files, judgments, dispositions, commitment orders, and certified copies. Carteret Correctional Center handles facility-specific questions about the NCDAC prison in Newport.
Carteret County Courthouse

Verify courthouse hours before traveling. A court record explains legal authority, while a jail or NCDAC release entry documents the relevant custody event.
NCDAC Records and Supervision
Use the NCDAC public-records route for public state-prison admission or release information that does not appear in Offender Public Information. Include the offender number, Carteret Correctional Center, a date range, and the exact field or document requested.
Community Supervision Judicial District 3
1904D South Glenburnie Road
New Bern, NC 28562
Phone: 252-514-4822
Fax: 252-514-4832
District 3 routes probation, parole, and post-release supervision matters for Carteret and neighboring counties. Office assignments may change, so confirm the reporting location before a visit.
NC SAVAN Custody Alerts
NC SAVAN provides North Carolina custody-status searches and supported release or transfer notifications through VINELink and telephone service. The statewide line is available around the clock at 1-877-627-2826. A notification can corroborate a change, but the supplying jail or NCDAC remains the source for a disputed release time or destination.
Choose the Right Record Path
Begin with the type of custody or record involved. These routes keep a county jail event separate from state, court, federal, and immigration records.
- For a named Carteret jail release and release-record steps, use the home search and records coverage.
- For state community supervision, use Parole & Probation.
- For same-day county releases, use the 24-Hour Release List.
- For timing or alerts, use Projected Release Date and VINELink Check.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use NCDAC Offender Public Information and the NCDAC records route.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For a facility-specific issue, use the Carteret facility contacts and pages listed below.
