Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Southern Correctional Institution
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster or state offender search. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, identification number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, sentence details, and custody status. For recent arrests, records may first appear in a county jail system before a person is transferred to state custody. After booking or transfer, processing can take several hours, so records may not appear immediately. If you cannot find the person, check spelling, try fewer search details, or contact the facility or the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction for guidance.
