Henderson County jail inmate search

Custody records are available through the Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements portal, which the Henderson County Sheriff's Office runs. You can narrow portal results by charge or arresting agency, and by date too, such as the past 7 days or the last 24 hours. There's also a link to the office's mobile app on the sheriff's Inmate Lookup page. Call the jail directly if the arrest is very recent.

Officers take people who were just arrested to the detention center to be booked. Staff record the person's name and charges during booking, which is the intake step. The Inmate Telephone Calls page from the sheriff says everyone gets phone access after booking is finished. Intake takes time, so a person arrested tonight might not show up online right away. Call (828) 694-3091 to check on a fresh arrest.

Reach the main jail desk by calling (828) 694-3091. The Henderson County Detention Center page lists three telephone lines depending on what you need:

• Detention Center: (828) 694-3091 for custody and facility questions.
• Detention Center Transport Office: (828) 694-3097 for prisoner transport matters.
• NCIC: (800) 943-2189 for phone accounts and video visits.

To check whether someone is in custody tonight, call the main detention line.

The facility is located at 375 First Avenue East, Hendersonville, NC 28792. The Henderson County Detention Center page says the facility stands right behind the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. There are 222 beds in the detention center.

Both the jail and the custody search tools are run by the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's Citizen Connect portal lets you look up recent confinements. The mobile app is also available from the Henderson County Inmate Lookup page.

Friends and family don't go to the jail for visits in person. The Henderson County Inmate Visitation page says every visit takes place by video on NCIC, using a phone, tablet, or computer.

• Price: Each minute of a video visit costs $0.30.
• Setup: Sign up at ncic.com, then upload a face photo plus a government ID.
• Appointments: Wait for your account to be approved, then book your visit through NCIC.

Detained people can get letters, and they can shop at the commissary, which is the jail store. The sheriff's link on the Henderson County Detention Center page goes to the inmate canteen service operated by Jail Pack Store.

For the address, write Inmate Name first; next comes Henderson County Detention Center, the street is 375 First Ave. East, then Hendersonville, NC 28792. Your full name and address are required by the Henderson County Inmate Mail page. Sending packages, cards, stickers, photos, or pictures isn't permitted.

Inmates in the detention center can't receive calls, though voicemail is the exception. After booking is finished, outgoing calls to approved contacts are allowed, charged at per minute rates. The Henderson County Inmate Telephone Calls page says NCIC Inmate Communications operates the phones. Set up a prepaid collect account online with NCIC or call (800) 943-2189.

Names, mugshots, and arrest records are never shown by County Jail Lookup. Open the Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements portal or the sheriff's mobile app to view the details the county publishes.

Bond means a promise, often backed by money, that the person in custody will return for their court date. In North Carolina, a judicial official decides the terms of release, such as an unsecured bond, a cash deposit, a mortgage, or a surety. Bail bondsmen who post bond under the state Commissioner of Insurance are called sureties. Call (828) 694-3091 for bond amounts, or read about bailing someone out of jail and the North Carolina inmate search directory.

Once release conditions are met, staff at the Henderson County Detention Center process the person out at 375 First Avenue East. Call the detention desk at (828) 694-3091 to check on release progress. For prisoner transfer questions, call the Transport Office at (828) 694-3097.
