It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Wayne County NC Detention Center so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.

The Wayne Co Jail is a 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.
