Perquimans County Jail Roster
Perquimans County does not operate a stand-alone county jail for ordinary local custody. The official jail for Perquimans County inmates is Albemarle District Jail, a regional facility serving Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Camden Counties. The jail is in Elizabeth City and works with local law-enforcement agencies, courts, and the Albemarle District Jail Commission. The Perquimans Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement contact for arrest and report routing, while the jail is the custody facility.
The Albemarle District Jail homepage identifies the regional jail serving Perquimans County inmates and links to custody, visitation, mail, and funds information.
This regional setup explains why the inmate lookup path uses jail and statewide tools rather than a Perquimans-only roster page.
Historical jail context also affects record routing. Camden, Pasquotank, and Perquimans authorized a regional jail study in 1969. The original jail section was built in 1972, later expanded, and moved in 2010 to a larger facility in Pasquotank County Commerce Park. The jail administrator reports through the regional jail governance structure, not through a single Perquimans jail division.
The jail's about page describes the facility history, rated capacity changes, and move to the current regional jail model.
Those facts help distinguish local jail custody from state prison custody and from court records kept at the courthouse.
Search Perquimans County Inmates
The official jail site links inmate lookup to VINELink. VINE is the custody-notification route for Albemarle District Jail searches. It is best for current jail custody and alert registration. It is not the same as the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction search, which covers state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and historical state offender information.
- Open VINELink and choose North Carolina as the state when the workflow asks for location.
- Search by the person's name first. Use exact spelling when possible, then broaden if no result appears.
- Use an offender ID only if it is known from a jail, court, or state correctional source.
- Filter by facility or agency when the interface allows it, using Albemarle District Jail for local custody.
- Review custody status and notification options. Register for alerts only through the official VINE workflow.
- Call Albemarle District Jail if the person was just arrested, just released, transferred, or not shown online.
The official jail source uses VINE rather than a visible local roster with charge tables. For charge details, bond events, and court dates, search the court case after the person is booked or charged. The full criminal case file is handled through the court clerk, not the jail roster.
The jail's linked inmate lookup through VINELink is the custody search source identified in the research.
VINE is useful for status and alerts, while the Clerk of Superior Court remains the source for public court case records.
Perquimans County Inmate Fields
Perquimans County inmate search fields depend on whether the search is through VINELink for jail custody or NC DAC for state custody. VINE commonly starts with name and state. NC DAC can use name or offender ID for state prison, probation, and parole records. If an arrest is very recent, phone confirmation may be faster than waiting for online systems.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Usually primary | VINE searches typically use offender name; exact fields depend on the state workflow. |
| Offender ID / ID number | Text | Optional if known | NC DAC supports name or offender ID for state prisoners, probation, and parole. |
| State | Dropdown | Required in VINE | Select North Carolina for Albemarle District Jail custody notification. |
| Facility / agency | Filter | Optional/conditional | Use Albemarle District Jail or North Carolina custody filters when visible. |
| Custody status alerts | Registration | Optional | VINE supports notifications and may require phone or email setup. |
Perquimans County Inmate Records
The official jail research did not open a live inmate profile, and the jail site does not publish a visible Perquimans-only roster with charge columns. The field inventory below reflects the official custody systems described by the jail and state sources. Some details may require a jail call or a court case search because charges and bond conditions are court-facing facts after the initial booking process.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person matched in jail or state custody search. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears in custody, released, transferred, or otherwise tracked by the system. |
| Facility | Albemarle District Jail for county custody or an NC DAC facility for state custody. |
| Booking or custody agency | May show the holding agency or booking source when VINE exposes it. |
| Notification options | Phone or email alerts through VINE when available. |
| Charges and bond | May require jail phone confirmation or eCourts case search if not shown in VINE. |
| State offender details | NC DAC records may show offender ID, supervision, facility, sentence, projected release, or historical custody. |
Note: NC DAC states its offender search does not include county jail information, so use it for state custody rather than Albemarle District Jail bookings.
Perquimans County Jail Contacts
Perquimans County inmate records often require three contacts: the regional jail for custody, the sheriff for arrest routing, and the court clerk for case records. Each office answers a different question. Jail staff can confirm custody and facility rules. The sheriff can route local arrest or report questions. The clerk can explain court files, hearings, payments, and copies.

Perquimans County Booking Path
A Perquimans County arrest may lead to booking at Albemarle District Jail, a magistrate appearance, bond conditions, and then a District Court or Superior Court case depending on the charge. The jail record can show custody status, but the court record explains charges, hearings, dispositions, and financial obligations. For a person just arrested, call the jail before assuming VINE is fully current.
First appearance and bond questions may involve the magistrate, the court, and the sheriff. If a warrant is involved, the warrant status should be verified with both the serving agency and the court file. If the person is later sentenced to state custody or placed on probation or parole, NC DAC becomes the better search source.
Perquimans County Inmate Visitation
Albemarle District Jail conducts all social visits by video. Family, friends, and clergy use the social visit process, while legal counsel and legal representatives are privileged visits. Off-site and on-site scheduling runs through Securus at videovisitanywhere.com, and off-site appointments must be made in advance. Former inmates must be out of jail long enough before visiting under the jail's posted rule.
| Visit Type | Schedule / Rule | Cost / Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Off-site weekday video | Monday-Friday, 5:30 PM-9:00 PM | $12.95 per 30-minute visit; Securus account required. |
| Off-site Saturday video | Saturday, 5:30 PM-11:00 PM | Appointment required through videovisitanywhere.com. |
| Off-site Sunday video | 8:00 AM-11:30 AM, 12:30 PM-4:30 PM, and 5:30 PM-11:00 PM | Appointment required through videovisitanywhere.com. |
| On-site video | Must be scheduled online | Use the same Securus scheduling route. |
| Former inmate visitors | Released at least six months before visiting | Restriction applies to jail visits. |
The official Albemarle District Jail visitation page gives the video schedule, cost, Securus setup, and visitor restrictions.
Because all social visits are video visits, scheduling rules are part of the practical inmate-record workflow.
Perquimans County Inmate Mail
Inmate mail at Albemarle District Jail follows jail screening rules. Inmates may send and receive mail Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. All mail other than legal mail is searched for contraband. Legal mail to or from counsel, court officials, or legitimate legal officials is privileged and is not read unless contraband is suspected. If opened for contraband, legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence.
Address inmate mail to the inmate's name at 210 Executive Drive South, Elizabeth City, NC 27909. Incoming and outgoing mail must include a return address, and inmate outgoing mail must show Albemarle District Jail as the return address. Inmates must use postage, though indigent supplies may be provided and later charged to the inmate account.
The jail's mail rules page lists the address format, contraband screening, legal mail handling, postage, indigent supplies, and return-address rules.
Mail rules affect family contact, attorney mail, and any written request sent to a person in custody.
Perquimans County Inmate Funds
Albemarle District Jail is cashless. An inmate account opens at admission, and money held by the inmate at intake is deposited into that account when allowed. The account can be used for canteen purchases and debits. Family and friends can make credit-card deposits online through Access Corrections or mail money orders or cashier's checks. Personal checks are returned.
The Albemarle District Jail funds page explains cashless accounts, Access Corrections deposits, mailed money orders, health-care debits, restitution debits, and release-card procedures.
Money and commissary records are jail account matters, not court case records, even when the custody stems from a pending charge.
Perquimans County Roster Limits
A jail roster or VINE status does not replace court records, police reports, or state offender records. It may not show all charges, bond history, sealed matters, juvenile records, dismissed charges, or full case outcomes. Some details belong in eCourts, some belong in the jail file, and some belong to NC DAC after state custody or supervision begins.
The NC Department of Adult Correction offender search covers state prisoners, probationers, and parolees, with historical state offender information. The DAC public-records guidance says that locator does not include county jail information. Use both systems only when the person's custody path is unclear.
