Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.
Independent records-search resource. This website is not a government agency, police department, sheriff's office, jail, prison or courthouse. Search coverage varies by source and jurisdiction. Some links may lead to third-party services, and compensation may be received when a partner service is used.
Use Alamance Mugshots as the Start of a Record Check, Not the End of One
The official Alamance County P2C system can do more than show a booking photograph. An individual inmate page can contain the person’s age, arrest date, release date, next court date, image and total bond amount when those fields are available.
This guide shows exactly what to do after each official page opens, where to call when P2C is not current enough, which Graham courthouse handles criminal matters, where to park, what the local courthouse phone rules say, how to request records, how to get custody alerts, and which local transportation, pretrial and reentry resources can help after the immediate booking question is resolved.
Open the Sheriff’s P2C inmate inquiry and complete the match before doing anything else
Do not begin with a generic name-search form. Alamance County already provides a public inmate inquiry built for this exact task.
- Enter the person’s last name.
- Add the first name only if too many people appear.
- Open the likely individual inmate result.
- Compare age, arrest date and other visible identifiers.
- Read the Release Date field before assuming current custody.
- Save the Next Court Date if displayed.
- Save the Total Bond Amount, but verify it again before relying on it.
- Move to eCourts only after you know you have the right person.

Alamance P2C Inmate Inquiry: Exact Step-by-Step Search
The P2C search page has separate Last Name and First Name fields and a filter for the inmate list. You do not need to enter private identifiers such as a Social Security number.
What the Current Alamance P2C Detail Page Can Show
Alamance Bail: P2C Gives the Initial Amount, but the Jail Says to Recheck
This is one of the most useful facts in the Sheriff’s own P2C FAQ. The county says the initial bail amount is posted on the Inmate Inquiry page, but you may need to call 336-570-6317 for the most up-to-date bail information.
- Find the question about the bail amount for an inmate.
- Read the county’s distinction between the initial P2C amount and current bail.
- Return to the person’s P2C inmate detail.
- Write down the displayed total bond amount.
- Call 336-570-6317 before relying on it.
- Have the person’s exact booked name ready when you call.
The Sheriff’s directory places the Magistrate’s Office at 109 S Maple St, Graham, the same street address published for the Sheriff/Detention complex.
Use the court side when the issue is a criminal case, court date, filing or other judicial record rather than jail administration.
No Alamance Mugshot or Inmate Result? Follow This Decision Route
Search the last name alone. Remove middle names, initials and unnecessary filters.
Booking and public data entry may still be underway. Recheck P2C before switching to a private mugshot site.
A release does not erase the court case. Search NC eCourts if the legal matter continues.
The person may have moved to another county facility or into the state correctional system.
The Detention Center serves as the local holding facility, but the arresting agency may be Burlington Police, Graham Police, Mebane Police, the Sheriff’s Office, Highway Patrol or another agency.
Use NC DAC only when prison, probation, parole or post-release supervision becomes relevant.
Alamance County Detention Center: Exact Address, Map and Local Contact
476 total published beds
The Sheriff’s current detention page says the newer center opened with 240 beds, combined with 156 beds in the original facility and 80 beds in the Annex.
The same official page currently reports about 150 positions assigned to Detention.
- Confirm the address still reads 109 S Maple St.
- Confirm the Detention Center phone before traveling.
- Use the page for facility information, not as a substitute for P2C inmate lookup.
- For a specific person’s current custody, return to P2C or call detention.
After the Booking: Use NC eCourts for the Actual Criminal Case
North Carolina says eCourts is now implemented across all 100 counties. Alamance users therefore have statewide digital court-search tools instead of needing an old county-only docket system.
Case information
NC Judicial Branch describes Smart Search as providing a detailed, near-real-time Case Summary / Register of Actions.
Name + county search
The Alamance court page directs users to Portal to search court dates by name, citation number, county and other available criteria.
Public eCourts kiosk
Alamance was included in the 2025 courthouse-kiosk deployment with search, scanner, printer and payment functions.
- Choose the Portal / Search option.
- Use Smart Search for case information.
- Enter the defendant’s exact name from the P2C booking.
- Filter to Alamance County when appropriate.
- Compare case details before assuming the result belongs to the same person.
- Use the hearing / court-date search when the next appearance is your question.
- Contact the Clerk when you need help obtaining an official court document.
Open Portal Training and Resources
Use this page if:- You do not understand Smart Search.
- You need help searching hearings.
- You need the Portal FAQ.
- You want the Judicial Branch’s own how-to videos.
- You need payment or judgment-search guidance.
Going to Court in Graham: Criminal Building, Parking and Cell-Phone Rules
This is where local detail matters. The Judicial Branch says criminal matters are handled in the Judge J.B. Allen Jr. Criminal Courthouse, while civil matters are handled at the Historical Courthouse.
Judge J.B. Allen Jr. Criminal Courthouse
212 W Elm StGraham, NC 27253 336-570-5202
Use this route for the criminal case connected to an Alamance booking.
Alamance County Historical Courthouse
1 Court SquareGraham, NC 27253 336-570-5200
The Judicial Branch states that civil matters, except marriages, are conducted here.
Parking: what the official local sources say
Open City of Graham Downtown Parking
After it opens:- Find the Downtown Parking section.
- If court may take more than two hours, look for an all-day lot.
- Do not assume Court Square parking is all-day; the Judicial Branch publishes a 2-hour limit there.
- Check posted signs when you arrive because local restrictions control the actual space.
Do not assume you can carry a phone into court
Alamance County’s court-rule library contains both a restrictive cell-phone order and a separate order explaining the rules for people who are permitted to possess devices in the courthouse.
General courthouse rule
The published Alamance administrative order states that cell phones and other covered personal communication devices are prohibited in the county courthouses except for specified exempt or permitted users.
Silent mode + no recording
The permitted-device order requires silent mode before courtroom entry and says photographing, video recording or capturing courtroom proceedings requires prior approval from the presiding judge.
Open Alamance Local Rules and Forms
After it opens:- Find the Superior Court or District Court section.
- Look for the cell-phone / personal communication device orders.
- Read both the restriction and permitted-device rule if a phone is necessary.
- Do not rely on an old screenshot of courthouse rules.
How to Request an Alamance Sheriff Record Without Sending the Request to the Wrong Office
The Sheriff’s public-record page contains several details that generic mugshot pages miss.
What the Sheriff says
- All public records requests must be submitted in writing.
- The office is not required to create a record that does not exist.
- The office is not required to convert a record into an electronic medium if it is not already in that medium.
- Actual fulfillment costs may be charged.
- The requestor should receive fee information before fulfillment.
What is not handled the same way
The Sheriff’s page notes that records of criminal investigations and criminal intelligence information are not public records under the cited North Carolina public-record definition.
It also tells users to direct arrest and search warrant requests to the Alamance County Clerk’s Office or North Carolina courts.
Open Alamance Sheriff Public Records
After it opens:- Decide whether the Sheriff actually holds the record.
- For an arrest/search warrant, switch to the court / Clerk route instead.
- For a Sheriff-held record, select the online records-request option.
- Describe an existing document, not a broad research project.
- Include the person’s full name if relevant.
- Include the approximate incident date and location.
- Include the report/case number if you already know it.
- Watch for a cost notice before fulfillment.

Alamance Visitation: Do Not Publish a Schedule the Sheriff Does Not Currently Publish
The current public-facing Detention Center page reviewed for this update does not provide a complete inmate visitation schedule. Publishing a timetable copied from a commercial jail directory would therefore create a freshness problem.
Ask these exact questions
- Is the person currently housed at the Alamance County Detention Center?
- Is the inmate currently eligible for visitation?
- Are visits on-site, remote, or both?
- What days and time blocks are currently available?
- Does the visit require advance scheduling?
- What ID must an adult visitor bring?
- What is the rule for a minor child?
- What items must stay outside the visitation area?
- Is there a current dress code?
- How early should a visitor arrive?
Alamance Inmate Commissary: Start From the Sheriff’s Resource, Not an Advertiser
The Sheriff’s current website navigation includes an Inmate Commissary resource. Provider fees and purchasing rules can change, so this page does not hard-code commercial fees that the Sheriff has not published on its primary detention page.
Open the Sheriff’s Inmate Commissary resource
After it opens:- Confirm the page is still on the Alamance County Sheriff’s domain or is linked directly by it.
- Follow only the current provider link supplied there.
- Search/select Alamance County Detention Center.
- Use the inmate’s exact booked name.
- Confirm the person before adding payment information.
- Review the current fee, order/deposit type and refund terms before paying.
- Save the confirmation or receipt.
NC SAVAN Is Better Than Refreshing a Mugshot Page for Release Updates
NC DAC describes SAVAN as a free and confidential notification resource that can include county jail inmates.
Release / custody-status alerts
A notification service reduces the need to keep reloading an inmate or mugshot page.
Open NC DAC Criminal Offender Searches
After it opens:- Find the SAVAN / victim notification information.
- Verify that you have the correct person.
- Use the published registration route or call 1-877-627-2826.
- Keep P2C for the local jail check and SAVAN for supported notifications.
NC DAC Does Not Replace the Alamance County Jail Search
North Carolina DAC explicitly distinguishes its offender database from county-jail records. Use it when the person has entered state prison custody, probation, parole or another covered state correctional stage.
Alamance P2C
Use for the local jail / booking question.
NC DAC
Use for prison and covered state-supervision records.
NC SAVAN
Use for supported custody-status alerts.
Alamance Detention PREA Policy: Zero-Tolerance Is Written Into the Sheriff’s Manual
The Sheriff’s current policy manual contains a PREA policy with an effective date of May 6, 2025 and revision dated June 17, 2025. It states a zero-tolerance policy for inmate-on-inmate sexual assault, staff sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and sexual harassment toward inmates.
Open Sexual Assault Prevention
After it opens:- Read the detention reporting guidance.
- For an issue occurring inside the facility, follow the official detention reporting path.
- For an immediate outside emergency or immediate threat, call 911.
Useful Alamance Local Help After Arrest: Transport, Pretrial Support and Reentry
This is where a local guide can provide more value than a mugshot directory. Alamance has programs aimed at transportation barriers, behavioral-health involvement, pretrial supervision and reentry after incarceration.
1. Low-cost transportation in Graham
$2 in-zone trips
ACTA currently publishes microtransit service for Graham and Haw River, with Mebane service also available.
Published fare: $2 for an in-zone trip and $5 between Graham and Mebane zones.
Service hours are published as Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Trips can be requested through ACTA’s app or by calling its call center.
Before booking, give the exact destination address and confirm that the requested pickup/drop-off falls inside the current service area.
- Check the current service-zone information.
- Confirm current fare and operating hours.
- Use the app or call 336-222-0565.
- Enter or provide the exact Graham destination.
- Ask where to meet the vehicle.
- Allow enough time for court security or jail check-in.
2. Alamance Stepping Up and Pretrial Release
Alamance County’s Stepping Up initiative focuses on reducing unnecessary criminal-justice involvement for people with mental illness or co-occurring substance-use needs.
Treatment + accountability
The county says the program operates out of the Alamance County Detention Center under Behavioral Health and Substance Use Programs oversight.
Its published description says the program addresses barriers such as homelessness, employment, addictions and mental-health disorders.
Local program results
The county reports that the program has served hundreds of individuals and that more than two-thirds of participants had successfully completed it at the time of the published update.
It also reported a 92% safety rate for the first quarter of FY2024. That is historical program outcome data, not a guarantee for a current participant.
Open the Pre-Trial Release program page
After it opens:- Read what the county says the program is designed to address.
- Do not assume every defendant qualifies.
- For program-specific questions, use the Stepping Up contact route.
- For case eligibility or legal advice, speak with the defendant’s attorney or court.
Jeff Prichard, Project Coordinator
336-290-0396
[email protected]
The county contact page asks users to allow up to 72 hours for a response because the coordinator is not in the office every day.
3. Current Alamance County Reentry Council
NC DAC currently lists a state-funded Alamance County Reentry Council with Sustainable Alamance as the intermediary agency.
Reentry resource connection
Local reentry councils are intended to connect people returning from incarceration with community resources and support.
Open NC DAC Local Reentry Councils
After it opens:- Scroll to Alamance County.
- Confirm Sustainable Alamance is still listed.
- Use the current phone/email shown there.
- Ask which reentry services are currently available before traveling.
Alamance Public Defender and Court Contacts
Open Alamance Public Defender information
After it opens:- Confirm Defender District 17.
- If you already know the lawyer’s name, use the attorney contact lookup.
- Use the page’s appointment / lawyer FAQs for appointed-counsel questions.
- For case-specific legal advice, speak with the assigned attorney rather than the jail.
