North Dartmouth, MA C. Carlos Carreiro Immigration Detention Center MA View
C. Carlos Carreiro Immigration Detention Center MA is a detention facility in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, associated with the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office. It has been used to hold people in immigration custody rather than operating as a standard county jail for all local arrests. County correctional facilities in Bristol County generally support the local justice system by holding pretrial detainees awaiting court action and some sentenced inmates serving shorter terms, while immigration detainees are held under separate civil immigration authority. Public custody information and release procedures may differ depending on whether the person is held on a criminal case or an immigration matter.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at C. Carlos Carreiro Immigration Detention Center MA
To find someone held at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Inmate rosters usually list basic custody details such as the person’s name, booking date, listed charges or hold reason, and current custody status. Records are not always searchable right after arrest or transfer because intake, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear immediately, check again later or contact the facility directly with the person’s full name and date of birth. For immigration custody, you may also need to confirm whether the person is listed through immigration detention records rather than a county criminal roster.
