Find Perquimans County Released Inmates

Understanding Perquimans County Releases

Perquimans County has no adult county jail in Hertford. The Perquimans County Sheriff may arrest or investigate, but adult local detainees are normally confined at Albemarle District Jail, 210 Executive Drive South in Elizabeth City. That regional arrangement is the first fact to establish when interpreting a release. A person who leaves Albemarle may enter the community after bond, a court order, dismissal, time served, or completion of a local sentence. The same person may instead be handed to NC DAC, another county, federal authorities, or immigration custody. Only the first group represents a confirmed community release.

A release record belongs to the agency that performed the custody event. Albemarle holds the adult jail entry. The Perquimans clerk holds the court case. NC DAC holds state prison and community-supervision records. BOP, ICE, and the U.S. Marshals use separate federal channels. Matching the source to the custody type prevents a missing live result from being mistaken for freedom.

Perquimans County Release Types

The wording in an Albemarle release entry matters because similar-looking exits can lead to very different next steps. A court disposition can explain the authority for an exit, but jail staff record the operational custody event. Read the release code or destination literally and confirm any receiving agency named in the record.

Fields in a Perquimans Release Record

Albemarle District Jail does not publish archived booking pages or a local release ledger online. A targeted request should identify the person and the event closely enough for staff to locate an existing record. Ask for the booking or confinement record, commitment and release entries, and the release disposition or destination. Request a booking photograph separately if needed because it is an image record rather than proof of release.

Request Perquimans County Release Records

For an adult local confinement event, contact Albemarle District Jail at (252) 335-4844, not the Sheriff’s Hertford office. The jail publishes no dedicated request form, fixed copy fee, promised turnaround, or booking-photo disclosure rule. North Carolina law allows actual reproduction cost and may allow a reasonable special-service charge for extraordinary use of resources. Ask for electronic delivery and a cost estimate before staff incur charges.

1. Give the full name, date of birth if known, approximate admission and release dates, and the Perquimans arresting agency.
2. Identify the existing records wanted, including booking, commitment, admission, release date and time, and disposition or destination.
3. Ask separately for an existing booking or identification photograph if it is part of the request.
4. Request an electronic copy, an estimate, and the statutory basis for any withheld field.
5. Compare the jail entry with the Perquimans court disposition and any receiving system.

For a state prison event, use the NC DAC online public-record form. DAC states that basic conviction, time served, sentence length, admission, and release dates can be public, while internal prison and supervision material has limits. Electronic delivery is standard. Simple requests may take days and complex requests may take weeks or months, so the legal standard is a response as promptly as possible rather than a fixed deadline.

North Carolina Record Access Rules

G.S. 132-1 defines public records broadly, while G.S. 132-6 governs inspection and copies. Law-enforcement information also falls under the rules and exceptions in G.S. 132-1.4. These provisions do not turn every jail file into an unrestricted online record. Juvenile material, sealed records, expunged matters, investigative content, and court orders can limit access.

No Albemarle source states how long a released person remains visible in VINELink or how long a jail ledger remains online because no such archive is published. The county sheriff retention schedule permits destruction of some identification photographs not placed in a case file after three years, but it is an authorization, not a public-visibility promise or a guaranteed destruction date.

Funds After an Albemarle Release

Albemarle’s official funds policy supplies one concrete exit detail. Remaining account money is returned by debit card when a person is released or transferred for more than 24 hours, and the person signs a receipt. The policy does not explain how clothing, identity documents, or other personal property are returned. Ask the jail about those items rather than treating the debit-card procedure as a complete property policy.

Find a Released Perquimans County Inmate

The strongest search starts with custody type and follows the handoff. Perquimans has no sheriff-produced recent-release roster, so the path for one named adult begins with NC SAVAN/VINELink and direct Albemarle confirmation. A state sentence, federal case, or immigration matter requires a different source.

1. Search the Albemarle District Jail entry in NC SAVAN/VINELink for a specific person and compare identity and custodian.
2. Call Albemarle at (252) 335-4844 for the admission, release date and time, disposition, and destination.
3. Use Perquimans eCourts Portal records to read the case disposition and Register of Actions.
4. If the jail records a transfer, continue with NC DAC OPI, the other county jail, BOP, ICE, or USMS as the destination requires.
5. If no online result resolves the event, submit a narrow request for the existing jail release entry.

For a list-style same-day question, the Perquimans 24-Hour Releases guide explains why no official feed exists and how to request a date range. For one person, use the source pair that proves both the legal outcome and the custody event.

NC DAC Search for Perquimans Releases

The NC DAC Offender Public Information search covers prison and community-supervision history beginning in 1972. It expressly excludes county-jail-only records. A person transferred from Albemarle to state custody can disappear from the jail channel and appear active in OPI without ever entering the community.

Open the detail and read overall Inmate Status, Probation/Parole/Post Release Status, current location, and service status before relying on a sentence block. An Actual Release Date can belong to an old completed sentence while the person is currently confined on another. A Projected Release Date is a calculation, not proof that release occurred.

The manifest capture below comes from the official OPI entry point and shows the state system used for released, supervised, and historical correction records.

Monthly State Releases to Perquimans

NC DAC also offers a monthly released-offender search by release county, year and month, or surname. Results may list offender number, name, release date, primary offense, and type of release. A Perquimans selection is a DAC release-county field. It does not prove the person left Albemarle, was convicted in Perquimans, or lives in the county. Open the individual record and read its status context.

Perquimans eCourts and Release Proof

Perquimans is fully within statewide eCourts. The Portal guidance explains Smart Search and the near-real-time Register of Actions. Case results can show parties, events, hearings, dispositions, financial information, and status, subject to access limits. A dismissal, bond action, judgment, or other order can explain why custody should end, but it does not prove the minute Albemarle completed release.

The official guidance image below shows the court-search route used to interpret a Perquimans case.

Perquimans Release Checks Across Systems

NC SAVAN, reached through VINELink or 1-877-627-2826, covers all North Carolina jails plus Adult Correction prison, probation, and parole feeds. It can send custody-event alerts, but it is not a complete historical ledger. It does not cover an unbooked magistrate bond-out, local police holding, juvenile detention, BOP, or ICE. A released or not-in-custody result describes the reporting custodian only.

For a federal sentence, the BOP Inmate Locator may show Released or Not in BOP Custody with a date. That does not rule out USMS, state, local, immigration, or federal supervision. ICE’s locator covers immigration detention and retains released results for only a limited recent period. USMS generally routes public questions through the federal case and receiving custodian rather than a county release list.

Where Perquimans Custody Status Appears

Each source answers a different question. Use the current-custody channel to learn who holds the person now and the event record to prove how a prior custody period ended.

Where Perquimans Adult Releases Occur

Adult releases physically occur at Albemarle District Jail in Elizabeth City, not the Perquimans Sheriff’s Hertford office. The jail contact page provides the location and main line, but it publishes no release hour, exit door, family waiting area, weekend or holiday rule, or general property procedure. Call (252) 335-4844 before traveling. Do not infer a pickup place from the street address alone.

Transportation From the Regional Jail

Inter-County Public Transportation Authority is the regional public-transport provider and states that anyone can ride. Its contact number is (252) 338-4480. Published material describes reservation requirements and limits on same-day geographic service, and no source confirms a stop at the Commerce Park jail. A rider should confirm the pickup point and timing with both ICPTA and Albemarle before relying on a trip home.

Regional Reentry Contact for Perquimans

The statewide reentry-resource directory assigns Perquimans to a regional Commerce reentry coordinator rather than identifying a county reentry office. The listed coordinator is Victor Hinnant at (919) 607-0645 and victor.hinnant@nccommerce.com. Because assignments can change, confirm the current directory before making a referral. This contact is distinct from the jail records line and cannot replace custody verification.

Why Perquimans Uses Albemarle Jail

The regional jail grew from a 1969 tri-county study to a 44-bed facility opened in 1972, later expanded to 90 beds, and moved in 2010 to the present 248-bed site. Effective July 1, 2026, Session Law 2026-25 added Chowan as a fourth participating county. Some jail pages still use the older three-county description. That lag does not create a Hertford county jail or change Albemarle’s role as adult custodian for Perquimans cases.

Perquimans Expunction and Record Access

For a case charged or convicted in Perquimans, an expunction petition is filed with the Perquimans clerk and remains dependent on the governing statute. North Carolina Courts explains the process. Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Second Chance Project limits new-file intake to the first full week of each month through JusticeHub or 1-866-219-5262. An expunction can change ordinary public access, but it should not be described as an automatic purge of every private copy or every unrelated custody record.

Registry Results After Perquimans Release

The North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry is relevant only when a person has a legal duty to register. A matching entry can show current public registration information after release, but no match says nothing about the larger population of people who have left custody. It is not a jail release list, a court-disposition search, or proof that every sentence and supervision term has ended.

Use the official SBI registry search only for that narrow question. The registry FAQ routes an error to the sheriff in the county responsible for the registration data. Errors in OPI, court, or Albemarle records belong with the agency that created those records. Keeping correction requests with the proper custodian avoids asking one office to alter another system.

Resolve Conflicting Perquimans Release Records

Dates from different systems often describe different steps. Booking, judgment, jail release, DAC admission, projected prison release, actual prison release, supervision start, and database update can occur at separate times. Record the source, lookup date, exact label, name spelling, and identifier used. Do not substitute a booking number for an offender number, case number, BOP number, or immigration A-number.

If two records still conflict after a reasonable update period, ask each creator what its field represents. Preserve a dated copy of the older result, but attribute it as an earlier observation rather than current truth. The final account should stay narrow, such as a jail transfer followed by a DAC admission, or an actual prison release followed by active post-release supervision. No single database proves every aspect of a person’s legal and physical status.

Perquimans Release Systems and Facilities

The five relevant pages reflect distinct custodians. Albemarle District Jail handles adult local confinement and community releases or transfers. Perquimans Juvenile Detention Center uses restricted family, attorney, and juvenile-court channels. The North Carolina state prison system records state release and supervision in OPI. The Federal Bureau of Prisons system uses its national locator. Immigration and U.S. Marshals custody require the relevant federal locator, case, office, or receiving agency.
