The Duplin Co Jail is a detention center located at 208 Duplin St Kenansville, NC which is operated locally by the Duplin 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. Duplin County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Kenansville 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.

Inmates held at the Duplin County Detention center range from those charged with offenses such as theft and non-payment of child support to felony offenses such as rape and murder.

The detention center operates under the orders of the sheriff and is supervised by a captain and a lieutenant who are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of the detention facility in accordance with state laws and regulations.
