Brunswick County Jail Roster
The Brunswick County inmate search is published by the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office for current county detention information. The sheriff states that the roster promotes public safety and gives community access to selected offender information consistent with the spirit and intent of the North Carolina Public Records Act. The same disclaimer says every effort is made to keep the information updated and accurate, but the data can change quickly and some offenders may be excluded.
The roster is only one part of Brunswick County inmate records. It can help confirm current local custody at the Brunswick County Detention Center, but it does not replace court records, warrants, statewide correctional records, or the NC SBI registry. If a person has been sentenced to state prison, placed on probation or parole, released, transferred, excluded, or never booked into the county jail, the county roster may not show that person.
The Detention Center source is the main county source for facility history, capacity, and custody operations.
That facility context matters because the roster is a county jail tool, not a general criminal-history index.
Use the Brunswick County Inmate Roster
Start with the Sheriff's Office roster when the question is current county custody. If the person appears, review the profile fields and then confirm urgent items by phone because release, bond, and court information can change fast. If the person does not appear, use the Detention Center phone, the NC DAC offender search, eCourts, or the Brunswick County Sheriff app depending on the likely location and stage of the case.
- Open the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office inmate search page.
- Use the roster search module to look for the person by name when available.
- Open the matching inmate profile and compare booking, charge, bond, agency, and custody details.
- Call the Detention Center at (910) 253-2760 before traveling, arranging a visit, sending money, or relying on a release status.
- Check related Brunswick County arrest records and charges in eCourts after the court case is filed.

The roster should be treated as fast-changing public custody information, not a certified court record.
Brunswick County Inmate Search Fields
The public roster interface may vary because the search module can be embedded or vendor-driven. The research captured the practical fields and related deposit-search fields. If the roster search is hard to use on mobile, the Brunswick County Sheriff app advertises inmate search in the same mobile app that also lists sex offenders, Most Wanted, alerts, tips, contacts, news, weather, and social posts.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find Inmates At The Detention Center | Search or link module | Unspecified | Opens the current public inmate lookup. |
| Name | Text | Likely primary | Use inmate first or last name if the interface exposes name search. |
| Booking or account number | Text | Possible | McDaniel deposit tools can search by inmate name or account number. |
| Search button | Button | Yes | Submit label depends on the embedded roster. |
| Disclaimer | Notice | N/A | Selected offender information only, fast-changing data, and possible exclusions. |
Brunswick County Inmate Profile Fields
A Brunswick County inmate profile can include public booking and custody fields, but some details may be withheld. Housing block detail, sensitive identifiers, juvenile information, medical data, victim information, and law-enforcement-sensitive records should not be expected in a public roster. Use the profile as a starting point, then verify urgent details through the Detention Center or the court file.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full name | The person listed in current county custody. |
| Booking number or inmate/account identifier | The jail or vendor identifier tied to the booking or account. |
| Booking date/time | When the person entered the Brunswick County Detention Center record. |
| Charges or holds | Charge descriptions, holds, warrant references, or court case links if public. |
| Bond amount/type | Release conditions when the roster makes them public. |
| Agency and court reference | Arresting or holding agency, court date, warrant number, or case number when shown. |
| Demographics or photo | Age, sex, race, height, weight, or mugshot if the public roster provides them. |
| Release information | Release data when still public and current. |
Brunswick County Inmate Detention Center

Brunswick County Inmates vs NC DAC
The county jail roster and the NC Department of Adult Correction search answer different questions. A pretrial detainee or person held locally after arrest belongs in the Brunswick County roster. A sentenced state prisoner, probationer, parolee, or person with historical state correctional information belongs in the NC DAC offender search. DAC public records material says its offender search does not include county jail information.
| Search | Best for | Not for |
|---|---|---|
| Brunswick County inmate search | Current county detainees at the Detention Center | State prison, probation, parole, and federal custody |
| NC DAC offender search | State prison offenders, probationers, parolees, and historical DAC records | Current Brunswick County jail custody |
| NC SBI registry | Registered sex offender public safety records | General jail roster or active custody confirmation |
Brunswick County Inmate Visitation
The Sheriff's Office publishes visitation information and uses Securus for remote video visitation. A visitor with a home computer, webcam, microphone, and speakers may visit from home for a fee. The source also confirms smartphone use through the Securus Video Visit app. The captured sources did not confirm a complete in-person public schedule, dress code, child visitor rule, or holiday schedule, so call the Detention Center before arrival.
| Visit type | Provider/location | Length | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remote video visit | Securus website or app | 20 minutes | $6.95 | Requires account and device with camera, mic, and speakers. |
| Remote video visit | Securus website or app | 40 minutes | $14.95 | Schedule through Securus. |
| Professional or attorney visits | Detention Center | Not located in captured source | Not located | Sheriff source says inmates can visit with professionals. |
| On-site public video | Call to confirm | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Call before traveling to the jail lobby. |
The inmate visitation page is the source for the Securus remote-video details.
Remote video visits are scheduled through Securus, while unresolved local timing questions should go to the Detention Center.
The Securus Video Visitation source is the provider route used for remote visits.
Securus is a communication vendor, not the custodian of Brunswick County inmate records.
Brunswick County Inmate Contact
The Detention Center offers inmate email through Securus Technologies. The Sheriff's Office describes email as the fastest way to send communications to inmates for a nominal fee. Emails are received by Detention Staff, printed, and delivered to the inmate in printed form, typically within 24 hours. Do not treat this as private email between sender and inmate.
For ordinary jail questions, use the Detention Center phone. For court dates, charges, or case status, use eCourts or the Clerk's criminal division. For current arrest charges tied to booking, compare the roster with the filed court case when one exists.
Brunswick County Inmate Funds
The Brunswick County Detention Center allows inmates to order commissary when funds are available in the inmate account. Necessary meals and hygiene items are provided free of charge; commissary items are extra. A lobby kiosk accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards. A captured COVID-era notice says the kiosk is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. excluding holidays. McDaniel Supply Company charges $3.00 per kiosk deposit, so a $10.00 deposit example results in $7.00 credited.
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Vendor | McDaniel Supply Company and Jail Pack Store. |
| General population ordering | Once a week. |
| Order processing | Thursday evenings at 9:00 p.m. |
| Delivery | The following Tuesday morning. |
| Refunds | All sales final, no refunds. |
| Released before delivery | Orders may be picked up at the Detention Center within three days, then unclaimed orders are donated to charity. |
The inmate funds page is the source for deposit and commissary details.
Use the county instructions before sending money because fees, posting time, and release status affect whether funds reach the inmate.
The McDaniel Supply Jail Pack Store is the vendor source for internet deposits and care packages.
Vendor search can use inmate name or inmate account number, but it does not replace the official jail roster.
Brunswick County Inmate App
The Brunswick County Sheriff app gives a mobile route to inmate search, sex offenders, Most Wanted, tips, alerts, news, weather, contacts, and social posts. Use it as a backup when the website search is difficult on a phone. The app listings also warn that the app is not for emergency reporting.
For booking records or jail information not shown online, use the Sheriff's Office record-request route or contact the office directly. For the court case that follows arrest, use eCourts and the Clerk of Superior Court. For a possible active warrant tied to an inmate or missed court, use the Brunswick County warrant search process and official warrant contacts.
