Does Yadkin County Have an Online Jail Roster?
No official Yadkin County online jail roster, current-inmate search, booking report, mugshot gallery, or sample inmate profile was located on official county or sheriff pages. The Detention Center page gives jail operations information, contact details, visitation rules, capacity facts, phone service, commissary, and court-contact guidance, but it does not expose a fielded inmate lookup form. Unofficial roster and mugshot domains are not treated as official county access channels.
That gap changes the lookup workflow. For a person believed to be in local custody, start with the Yadkin County Detention Center rather than the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. The Detention Center is the county jail route for pretrial detainees and people serving county sentences up to two years. NCDAC applies after state-prison sentencing or for probation, parole, and community supervision records. BOP and ICE tools cover separate federal and immigration systems.
The official Yadkin County Detention Center page is the source for jail operation details.
The screenshot shows why the county jail route is contact-based: the official page publishes jail information, but not a public roster search box or inmate profile listing.
How to Check Yadkin County Jail Custody
Use the county route first when the arrest, booking, or short local sentence is connected to Yadkin County. Before calling or visiting, gather the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency.
- Open the official Detention Center page and confirm the person fits the county-jail category: pretrial detention, recent booking, or a local sentence rather than state prison.
- Call the Yadkin County Detention Center at 336-849-7840 for current custody, booking confirmation, bond or release routing, visitation, phone-account questions, or mail instructions.
- For a written booking record, arrest report, or incident report, contact the Yadkin County Sheriff's Office at 336-849-7810 or use the county public-records process.
- If the request is for a report copy, the sheriff FAQ says to come by or call the Sheriff's Office and speak with the Criminal Investigations Division secretary.
- Use NC SAVAN / VINELink for custody-change notices. Yadkin sheriff FAQ material lists 1-877-627-2826 for registration and notification calls.
- After charges are filed, use the North Carolina Judicial Branch Portal or the Yadkin County Clerk of Court for court case information. The clerk number listed for Yadkin County is 336-679-3600.
- Use the NCDAC offender search only if the person has moved into state prison custody or is under state probation, parole, or community supervision.
- Use BOP for federal sentenced custody and ICE ODLS for immigration detention. Neither system is a substitute for the local jail phone line.
Yadkin County Roster Search Fields
Because no official county jail roster interface was found, there are no official Yadkin County online search fields to document for current jail inmates. The county access path is a phone, in-person, or written-records workflow, not a web form.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not located | Not located | Not located | No official Yadkin County jail roster, booking report, current-inmate search, or profile fielded interface was found on county or sheriff pages. |
If a current custody question cannot be answered online, the practical substitute is a direct inquiry to the Detention Center. Written records may be available through public-records channels, but investigative records, sealed records, juvenile records, expunctions, and protected personal information can limit release.
What a Jail Record May Show
No official Yadkin County sample inmate profile was located, so this inventory is framed as the type of information a requester may ask about or may see in a releasable booking, custody, or court-linked record.
| Record Area | What It May Show |
|---|---|
| Identity | Booked name, aliases if recorded, date of birth, and identifiers needed to distinguish one person from another. |
| Custody status | Whether the person is currently held, released, transferred, or outside the county jail system. |
| Booking details | Booking date, arresting agency, intake status, and local jail processing information if releasable. |
| Charges | Arrest or booking charges before court disposition. Filed court charges should be confirmed through Judicial Branch records. |
| Bond or release | Bond, hold, or release-routing information when available and not restricted by the record type. |
| Housing and visitation | Whether visitation, mail, phone, or deposit options can be used for the person, subject to jail rules and current status. |
| Booking photo | No official Yadkin County public mugshot gallery was located. A photo request, if allowed, would go through the appropriate records process. |
Jail and Sheriff Contact Card
The Detention Center and Sheriff's Office are separate contact points. Use the jail for current custody and inmate-service questions. Use the Sheriff's Office for report-copy routing, records questions, and broader law-enforcement records. County pages list Bryan N. Smitherman as sheriff; some other sources use Nick Smitherman.

Requesting Booking or Jail Records
North Carolina G.S. 132-1 defines public records broadly, and G.S. 132-6 provides for inspection and copies unless another law creates an exception. G.S. 132-6.2 addresses copy fees and generally ties ordinary copy charges to actual reproduction costs unless otherwise authorized. No exact Yadkin County jail-record copy fee was located, so ask the Sheriff's Office or county records contact about format, cost, and delivery.
Criminal investigation records have special limits under G.S. 132-1.4. That statute does not make every investigative file public, but it preserves access to certain arrest, charge, and circumstance information. A booking record, incident report, returned warrant, court filing, or investigative file can therefore have different release rules. Yadkin court contacts listed in the Judicial Branch directory include the Clerk of Court at 336-679-3600, District Attorney at 336-679-3610, and Magistrates at 336-679-3619.
Records routing: Current custody starts with the Detention Center. Report copies and sheriff records start with the Sheriff's Office. Court dates, filed charges, and dispositions belong with the Judicial Branch or Clerk of Court.
Using NC SAVAN and VINELink
NC SAVAN / VINELink is a notification channel, not a complete substitute for a county jail roster. It is useful when a victim, family member, or interested person wants custody-change alerts. Yadkin sheriff FAQ material says victims may register by calling 1-877-627-2826 and receive calls when custody changes. VINELink also supports online North Carolina notification access.
Use notification tools alongside direct confirmation. A same-day question about whether a person is physically held at the Yadkin County Detention Center should still be confirmed with the jail. Court dates, bond changes, and prosecutor actions should be checked with the court or clerk.
County Jail vs NCDAC, BOP, and ICE
Different custody systems publish different records. Yadkin County Detention Center custody is local and is operated by the Sheriff's Office. NCDAC covers state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and community supervision. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention. No state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility physically in Yadkin County was confirmed. No official Yadkin sheriff app or app-only Yadkin roster was confirmed, and MobilePatrol participation was not verified from official county pages.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Yadkin County pretrial or local sentence | Yadkin County Detention Center, 336-849-7840 | No official online roster was located. |
| State prison, probation, parole, community supervision | North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search | NCDAC says it does not include county jail information. |
| Federal sentenced custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator | BOP does not publish federal mugshots in the locator. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody is separate from Yadkin County criminal custody. |
| Filed criminal court case | North Carolina Judicial Branch Portal or Yadkin County Clerk of Court | Court records begin after charges are filed and may differ from booking charges. |
NCDAC Search Fields and Results
The NCDAC Offender Public Information Search is useful only for the state correctional system. It should not be used to rule out a recent Yadkin County jail booking. The form supports name, offender number, demographic, birth-date, and age-range criteria.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offender Status | Radio | Optional with other criteria | All, Active Inmate, Active Probationer/Parolee, or Inactive. Gender alone is not enough. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional unless Sounds Like is checked | Maximum 35 characters; letters and hyphen validated. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Maximum 25 characters; letters validated. |
| M.I. | Text | Optional | Maximum 1 character. |
| Sounds Like | Checkbox | Optional | Requires a last name. |
| Offender Number | Text | Optional | Numeric only, maximum 7 characters. |
| Gender | Dropdown | Optional | Blank, MALE, or FEMALE. Cannot be the only criterion. |
| Race | Dropdown | Optional | Includes American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Asian American, Black/African American, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Other, Unknown, and White. |
| Ethnicity | Dropdown | Optional | Includes Hispanic/Latino, Not Hispanic/Latino, Unknown, and other listed categories. |
| Birth Date | Date text | Optional | MM/DD/YYYY. Required if a birth-date range is selected. |
| Birth Date Range | Dropdown | Optional | Exact match or plus/minus 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 15 years. |
| Age minimum / Age maximum | Text | Optional | Numeric, maximum 3 digits. |
| Search / Modify Search / New Search | Actions | Not applicable | Runs the search, returns to criteria, or starts over. |
NCDAC results display 24 per page with sortable columns: Offender Number, Last Name, Name Suffix, First Name, Middle Name, Gender, Race, Birth Date, and Age. Selecting an offender number opens the state profile. NCDAC public-records guidance says it maintains state sentence and community-supervision records, not local county jail records.
Federal and ICE Locator Fallbacks
The BOP inmate locator has two search paths. The number tab searches by BOP Register Number, DCDC Number, FBI Number, or INS Number. The name tab searches by first, middle, and last name, plus race, age, and sex. Public BOP results show Name, Register Number, Age, Race, Sex, Release Date, and Location. BOP does not publish federal mugshots.
ICE ODLS is separate from county jail and state prison systems. It is the federal immigration-detention locator, useful when a person may have moved from local criminal custody into immigration custody or may be held in an ICE facility outside Yadkin County.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The detention page lists Thursday visitation windows but also retains a COVID-era no-visitation notice. Treat the Thursday schedule as published information, then confirm with the jail before traveling. Each inmate is allowed one visit per week, visitors must be on the administration-approved list, and visitors with pending criminal charges are barred.
| Facility | Day | Hours | Rules and Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yadkin County Detention Center | Thursday | 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. | One visit per inmate per week; photo ID required; approved visitor list required; confirm status before travel. |
| Yadkin County Detention Center | Thursday | 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. | Same rules apply. Mail is not accepted at visitation. |
The jail is tobacco-free. Tobacco, cell phones, weapons, and other contraband are not allowed, and attempting to bring or pass contraband can result in a criminal charge. Minors under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Calls, Commissary, and Money
Yadkin County jail phone calls are handled through Pay-Tel Communications, with customer service listed as 1-800-PAY-TELL. The jail uses Kimble's for commissary. Money can be deposited through the ATM kiosk in the jail lobby, described as available 24/7 for convenience, or online through JailATM.com. Money orders are no longer accepted.
Personal items from outside are not accepted, and medications must be preapproved and provided through the facility's health-care provider. Medical care and screening are contracted through Southern Health Partners, and food services are contracted through Trinity. Before sending money, scheduling a visit, or mailing anything, confirm current custody and rules with the jail.
Confirm first: Custody status can change quickly through release, transfer, court action, or state-prison movement. Verify status with the jail before making travel, deposit, or mail plans.
