Where to Look for Pender County Custody or Records
For current county-jail custody, start with the Pender County Jail and sheriff resources. For court charges, state prison custody, federal custody, immigration detention, or public-records requests, use the separate systems listed below.
Local Jail and Sheriff's Office
- Pender County Jail: 104 N Walker Street, Burgaw, NC 28425. Jail Division phone: 910-259-1353. Use this for current county-jail routing, visitation, inmate mail, and jail-specific questions.
- Pender County Sheriff's Office: 605 E Fremont Street, Burgaw, NC 28425. Main phone: 910-259-1212. The sheriff's office operates the jail and links the official CentralSquare/Zuercher inmate lookup.
- Official county roster: use the sheriff-linked Pender County inmate lookup for the current jail list, recent in-custody-date checks, held-for agency fields, and visible roster mugshots. See jail inmate records and jail roster mugshots.
Public Records and Court Records
- Pender County NextRequest: use the county public-records portal for older booking records, arrest information, mugshots not shown online, or sheriff-held records not available through the current roster.
- NC eCourts: use the North Carolina eCourts Portal for public case records, hearings, court dates, payments, and documents where access is permitted. See court records after a jail arrest.
- Pender County court resources: the North Carolina Judicial Branch Pender County page and clerk public terminals are the proper route for formal criminal charges, case numbers, dispositions, and paper file access.
Other Custody Systems
- NC DAC: search the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender locator for sentenced state prisoners, probationers, and parolees. NC DAC does not include county jail records.
- VINELink / NC SAVAN: use VINELink for custody notification and status searches that can include county jail inmates, state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and registered sex offenders.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons: use the BOP inmate locator for sentenced federal prisoners or people already designated to BOP custody.
- ICE Online Detainee Locator: use ICE's locator if immigration detention is possible. Search by A-number and country of birth, or by biographical information.
