Records include names, charges, bond details, and custody status for every person held. These records are public under North Carolina law.
High Point Quick Facts
High Point Detention Center
The High Point Detention Center is at 507 East Green Drive in High Point. The phone number is (336) 641-7900. This facility holds about 274 inmates. It is one of three detention sites run by the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. The other two are the Greensboro Detention Center and the Sheriff's Prison Farm.
High Point police work with the county sheriff for all detention needs. When an officer makes an arrest in High Point, the person goes to this facility for booking. The intake staff record the person's name, charges, and other key facts. A booking photo is taken and bond is set based on the charges. All of this goes into the Guilford County inmate population system.
The High Point Detention Center handles inmates from High Point and nearby areas within Guilford County. The facility runs 24 hours a day and processes bookings and releases around the clock. Because it is part of the larger county system, inmates from High Point may sometimes be moved to the Greensboro Detention Center or the Prison Farm based on space and security needs.
