New London, NC Albemarle Correctional Institution View

Local arrests, short-term detention, and most pretrial housing in Stanly County are generally handled by the county detention center, not a state prison.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Albemarle Correctional Institution
The public can look up people in custody using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. State prison listings commonly show the person’s name, offender number, location, custody status, admission or booking date, and offense or charge information when available. Records may not appear immediately after a transfer or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested in Stanly County, also check the county detention center, because pretrial detainees may not be listed in the state prison system.
