The Wayne Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 207 E Chestnut St Goldsboro, NC which is operated locally by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Wayne County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Goldsboro Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for North Carolina here.

The Detention Center has a total of 221 beds. Three 64 man pods and one 29 men celled pod. This facility consists of 7 floors and is designed to house approximately 200 inmates (178 male beds and 22 female beds). The Sheriff’s Office occupies the first floor of the facility and the remaining 5 floors contain cellblocks. The booking area occupies the bottom floor of the facility. Each floor consists of 38 beds, except the 5th floor, which consists of 48 beds. The Detention Center at this time averages approximately 340 inmates. The construction of the Sheriff Carey A. Winders Detention Center Annex on William Street allows them to not have to outsource inmates but now house inmates from other counties, which in turn the county receives revenue.

The Detention Center also manages roadside clean-up crews. These crews consist of inmates that are either doing community service, court-ordered or volunteer work for the county. They are accompanied by Detention Officers. They may be seen all over Wayne County picking up roadside trash. This is their way of giving back to the community.

The Sheriff's Office and Detention Center also operate a mobile jail cell for educational reasons. This mobile cell is available to the public for special events. It will be accompanied by the Detention Center staff to educate the public about what it would be like to be incarcerated in the Detention Center. This demonstration is targeted toward young people, hopefully, to be a deterrent toward criminal behavior.

Inmate Locator

Wayne County NC Detention Center publishes the names of the inmates currently in their facility in North Carolina. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.

The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content to access and utilize any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.

As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason, they charge to access it.
