Richmond County Jail Roster
The official Richmond County inmate lookup starts with the sheriff's inmate information page and the county jail application. The Sheriff inmate information page links to the public lookup and warns that charge and bond information should be verified with official court or jail sources. The direct Richmond County Jail search application provides tabs for inmate name, charge description, and recent booking days.
The roster is a county detention tool, not a statewide criminal-history report. It can help identify whether a person is currently shown in Richmond County Jail data, when the person was admitted, and which public booking fields are visible. It does not cover people in North Carolina state prison, people supervised only on probation or parole, federal inmates, immigration custody, or people booked in another county. For the full court case after booking, use the statewide eCourts Portal or the Clerk of Superior Court.
The inmate information image from the Richmond County Sheriff's Office shows the official local gateway for jail records.
That sheriff page is the best starting point when a reader needs the county's own custody source rather than a state offender database.
Use Richmond County Inmate Search
The jail application offers more than one way to search. A name search is usually the fastest route when the person's full name is known. A charge search can help when the name spelling is uncertain, or when a reader wants to see people associated with a charge description. The days search focuses on recent admissions by a number-of-days value.
- Open the Richmond County Jail inmates grid for the all-inmates view.
- Use the name search or filter row under Full Name, Age, Race, Sex, and Admit Date to narrow the roster.
- Use the charge-description search if the known detail is an offense phrase rather than a name.
- Select a linked full name to review the public inmate detail page, including charge rows and bond fields.
- Call the jail at (910) 997-8265 when custody, release, or bond information must be confirmed before travel or payment.
The all-inmates grid shown in the Richmond County Jail roster includes sortable and filterable public columns.
The grid is useful for quick custody checks, but the linked detail page carries the deeper bond, charge, and court-date fields.
Richmond County Inmate Search Fields
The Richmond County jail application uses simple public inputs and grid filters. The research found autocomplete behavior for name and charge searches, plus a days search that accepts a small number. The all-inmates grid also has a filter row under the visible columns.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By name / InmatesSearchBox | Text with autocomplete | No | Minimum 2 characters for autocomplete; Search button and View all inmates link. |
| By charge description / ChargesSearchBox | Text with autocomplete | No | Minimum 2 characters; searches the public charge-description index. |
| Over the last number of days / DaysSearchBox | Number | No | Default prompt shows 5; the page states 1 to 4 numbers are allowed. |
| Inmates tab | Tab/link | No | Switches to inmate search mode. |
| Charges tab | Tab/link | No | Switches to charge description search mode. |
| Days tab | Tab/link | No | Searches recent bookings by a number of days. |
Richmond County Inmate Profile
A Richmond County inmate profile can show identity, physical-description, booking, agency, charge, court, and bond fields. The inspected detail page included a booking or photo area, but the research did not locate a written mugshot policy. The profile did not show Social Security number, home address, medical flags, protective-custody flags, or detailed sentence and probation information.
Bond fields are especially important but should be verified before payment. The sample detail showed bond types such as Secured Bond and Inclusive. Inclusive should be treated only as a displayed jail-system value unless the jail or court explains its legal effect for the specific booking.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name ID | The jail application's internal person identifier. |
| Race / Sex | Basic demographic fields displayed on the public profile. |
| Eye, Hair, Weight, Height | Physical-description fields shown by the jail application. |
| Admit Date and Time | The date and time the person was admitted to Richmond County custody. |
| Confining Agency | The agency shown as confining the person. |
| Charge | The offense description listed in a charge row. |
| Offense Date | The date associated with the alleged offense. |
| Court Type and Court Date | The court category and next date visible for the charge. |
| Bond and Bond Type | The public bond amount and bond label displayed for a charge row. |
| Charging and Arresting Agency | The agencies listed for charging and arrest, such as Richmond agency values. |
The sheriff's charge-description index can be used when a Richmond County inmate search starts with an offense phrase.
Charge searching helps connect booking records to offense descriptions, but it does not replace court case review in eCourts.
Richmond County Jail Contacts
Richmond County has one researched county jail facility for this record set. The jail is separate from the main Sheriff's Office address, though both are part of the sheriff's law-enforcement and detention operation. The jail administrator page identifies Captain David Wall and lists the jail administrator phone and fax.

Richmond County Booking Records
A booking record begins after a person is taken into local custody and processed into the jail system. The public Richmond County inmate profile can show admit date, admit time, confining agency, charge rows, bond, court type, court date, charging agency, and arresting agency. Those fields help explain why a person is in the jail and where the next court step may occur.
Booking data should be read beside the court case file. District Court handles misdemeanors, infractions, initial criminal matters, and most traffic matters. Superior Court handles felonies and appeals from District Court. A jail charge row may show the next court date, but the full filing history, disposition, plea, sentence, and case events belong in the court record. For full case events after a booking, use the Richmond County criminal court record through Portal or the Clerk of Superior Court.
- Bond
- Security or a promise tied to release while the case is pending.
- Confining Agency
- The agency shown by the jail as holding the person in custody.
- Charging Agency
- The agency associated with the charge row in the jail detail.
- Court Date
- The listed next court appearance tied to a booking charge.
Richmond County Jail vs State Prison
Richmond County inmate records cover local jail custody. The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search is the better source for state prisoners, probationers, parolees, sex-offender registry searches, and SAVAN victim notification links. The state offender page expressly does not replace county jail information.
NC SAVAN and VINELink can include county jail inmates, state prisoners, probationers, parolees, and registered sex offenders for notification purposes. A person who was recently arrested in Richmond County may appear in the county jail app first. A person sentenced to state prison or supervised after conviction may later appear in the state system.
- County jail roster: use the Richmond County Jail app for current or recent local custody, charges, court dates, and bond fields.
- Court case record: use the North Carolina eCourts Portal or Clerk of Superior Court for filings, hearings, dispositions, and court payments.
- State offender record: use NC Department of Adult Correction for state prison, probation, parole, historical state offender information, and SAVAN links.
Richmond County Inmate Visitation
Richmond County visitation is conducted through iWebVisit and Paytel. The official sheriff page instructs visitors to use Paytel Connect to register and schedule. On-site standard video visits use two video visitation kiosks at the jail. Visitors must provide valid photo ID before entering the visitation area, and no more than three people are allowed in the visitation area for each kiosk.
Visitors must dress and behave appropriately and must follow Richmond County Jail and Paytel policies. Noncompliance may terminate a visit, block an account, suspend inmate visitation privileges, or lead to denial of future visits. The jail page also says refund questions for remote video visits should go to Paytel, not the Sheriff or jail.
| Visitor Type | Schedule / Request | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Standard on-site video | Register with Paytel before scheduling | Valid photo ID required; no more than three people per kiosk area. |
| Registration help | Saturday and Sunday, 5:00 PM-9:30 PM | Help is available at the jail for on-site standard video registration. |
| Lawyers and professional visitors | Request at least 24 hours in advance by fax (910) 997-8262 or email jailofficer@richmondnc.com | Least restrictive time is 12:00 PM-3:30 PM Monday-Friday. |
| Chaplains and pastors | With prior notice, 1 hour Saturday or Sunday between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM | Additional access requires Jail Administrator determination and approval. |
The Paytel image from Paytel Connect supports the Richmond County jail visitation process described by the sheriff.
Because Paytel registration is required before scheduling on-site standard video visits, account setup is part of the local visitation process.
Contact Richmond County Inmates
The assigned research did not locate an official Richmond County inmate mail format, phone-call pricing schedule, tablet program, commissary vendor, money-deposit method, or holiday visitation schedule. The confirmed contact path is the jail phone, the jail administrator phone, Paytel for video visitation, and the professional-visitor process through fax or email. Do not assume a national jail vendor applies unless the jail confirms it.
For lawyer visits, requests should be made at least 24 hours in advance by fax at (910) 997-8262 or email at jailofficer@richmondnc.com. Paraprofessional aides need an attorney letter unless accompanied by the attorney. The letter must be on attorney letterhead and include the inmate name, court jurisdiction, case number, authorized visitor names, and attorney signature. Recording devices are not allowed inside the detention center without prior Jail Administrator approval.
Richmond County Inmate Funds
No official commissary vendor, deposit limit, online deposit portal, money-order instruction, or fee schedule was found in the Richmond County research materials. That is a meaningful gap because inmate-funds rules often change and can vary by facility contract. Call Richmond County Jail at (910) 997-8265 before sending money, bringing funds to the jail, or using a third-party deposit website.
Use the same caution with phone accounts. Paytel is confirmed for video visitation registration, but the research did not confirm inmate phone pricing or a separate phone-account process. A family member should verify the current procedure directly with the jail or through the official sheriff page before creating any paid account.
