What This Site Does
North Carolina law treats many government records as public, including defined arrest information under Chapter 132 and G.S. 132-1.4, but the records are not all kept in one place. Sheriff Pete Herron's office operates the local detention center for pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and misdemeanor-confinement participants, with county information published through the Sheriff's Office and Detention Services pages. NC DAC runs the statewide offender search for sentenced state prisoners, including people held at Southern Correctional Institution. This site organizes those rosters, locators, facility contacts, visitation details, and request steps in plain language.
What You Can Find Here
The pages focus on the public record paths most people need after a Montgomery County arrest or custody transfer.
- Guidance for jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest.
- Facility pages for Montgomery County Detention Center and Southern Correctional Institution, with the official address, phone, and custody role for each.
- Step-by-step help for the county jail phone path, VINELink notification, and the NC DAC Offender Public Information locator at webapps.doc.state.nc.us.
- Context for requesting booking, incident, court, and custody records through the sheriff's office, the detention center, and the North Carolina Judicial Branch Montgomery County page.
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. It is not connected to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, the Montgomery County Detention Center, NC DAC, the North Carolina Judicial Branch, or any local, state, or federal agency.
- We cannot release, hold, transfer, or move anyone in custody.
- We cannot post bond, schedule a Securus visit, or send money through JailATM or any other vendor for you.
- We cannot provide legal advice about a charge, bond condition, court date, or sentence.
- We cannot promise that every phone number, fee, office hour, or custody detail remains current after publication.
Current custody status, charges, bond eligibility, and release information must come from the sheriff's office, the detention center, NC DAC, the court, or another originating office. This site points to those sources but does not replace them.
