Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Tyrrell Prison Work Farm
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search. Inmate search records typically list the person’s name, offender or booking number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, current location, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or booking because processing and verification can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Tyrrell County and does not appear in the state system, check with the local sheriff’s office or court because pretrial detainees may be held at a county detention facility instead.
