The Albemarle Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 210 Executive Dr Elizabeth City, NC which is operated locally by the Albemarle Regional Authority and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates have been here for less than five years. Albemarle Co Jail accepts inmates from the Albemarle County Sheriff's arrests and surrounding towns, Elizabeth City 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.

In October 1969 the three counties of Camden, Pasquotank and Perquimans authorized a preliminary study for the regional jail facility after which agreement was made by these three counties to proceed with this pilot program. This was a new concept in detention facilities.

The original section of the jail was built in 1972 with a capacity of 44 beds. In 1988 the jail board undertook a project to add 24 cells to the building which were ready for occupancy in 1990. The board received permission to double bunk 20 of these cells under North Carolina jail standards making the total rated capacity 90 beds. This included all levels of security and space dedicated to both male & female detainees.

Due to severe overcrowding, the Jail Board undertook a project in 2006 to construct a 248-bed facility with infrastructure to expand to 500 beds when needed. In 2010 Albemarle District Jail moved to its current location in Pasquotank County Commerce Park.

The Albemarle District jail is managed by the Jail Administrator who reports to the Albemarle District Jail Commission.
