Locate Pasquotank Correctional Institution Inmates

Pasquotank Prison Overview

Pasquotank Correctional Institution is operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. It is a state prison in Elizabeth City and is separate from Albemarle District Jail. The facility houses sentenced male state prisoners in close custody and a separate minimum custody unit. It is not the place to check for someone just booked after a Pasquotank County arrest unless the person has later moved into state prison custody.

The NCDAC facility page lists a 1996 opening year, Warden Daniel Everett, and a capacity of 896. It describes the prison as four buildings with a visiting area, recreation area, dining hall, warehouse, vocational and academic classrooms, medical and mental-health offices, and administrative offices. Work assignments include kitchen, janitorial, and maintenance duties. Education includes GED preparation and vocational programs.

Pasquotank Prison Custody

Pasquotank Correctional Institution is for sentenced state prisoners. That custody stage is different from local pretrial detention at Albemarle District Jail. A person arrested in Pasquotank County may start in local custody, appear in court, and later transfer to NCDAC if convicted and sentenced to state prison. Once that transfer occurs, the local jail lookup may no longer be the best tool.

NCDAC lists the facility type as Male - Close and Minimum Custody. Close custody is a state prison security classification for higher supervision needs. Minimum custody is a lower-security state prison classification, and the research describes a separate minimum custody unit at the facility. The official pages reviewed do not give a current day-by-day population count, so the sourced facility number is capacity, not present headcount.

Pasquotank Prison Inmate Search

Use NCDAC Offender Public Information for a Pasquotank Correctional Institution inmate search. NCDAC says the database includes state prison offenders, probationers, parolees, and historical information back to 1972. It also says county jail information is not included. That exclusion is crucial in Pasquotank County because the local jail and the state prison sit in the same city but use different systems.

The state search can be run by name or offender number. Offender number is the strongest identifier when known. Otherwise, use last name and first name, then narrow with birth date or age range if the name is common. Search status should match the custody question: Active Inmate for prison custody, Active Probationer/Parolee for supervision, Inactive for older state records, and All when the status is unknown.

1. Open the NCDAC Offender Public Information search form.
2. Enter the offender number if known, or search by last name and first name.
3. Use birth date, age range, gender, race, or ethnic group filters only when they help confirm identity.
4. Open the matching result and confirm the facility or custody status before relying on the record.
5. If no state result appears after a recent arrest, search Albemarle District Jail through VINELink or call the jail.

The NCDAC Offender Public Information form shown here is the direct state search page for a prison lookup, while the broader criminal offender searches page points users to related state tools.

The form screenshot reflects the state-level filters used for prison custody, which are different from the local jail's VINELink route.

Pasquotank Prison Contact

Contact Pasquotank Correctional Institution for state prison facility questions, not for Pasquotank County jail booking questions. NCDAC public records and offender-search resources should be used when the question is about state prison custody, sentence data, admission, release, or supervision. For a fresh county arrest, the local route is Albemarle District Jail and VINELink.

The prison is in Elizabeth City, but it is part of the statewide prison system. The official facility page is the best local source for capacity, custody level, warden, and program details. For records beyond the locator, the NCDAC public-records route applies, with the research noting that many offender records are confidential while basic conviction, time-served, sentence, admission, and release details are public through Offender Search.

Pasquotank Prison Visits

Pasquotank Correctional Institution uses NCDAC state prison visitation rules and procedures. The research does not provide a facility-specific weekly visiting schedule table for this prison, so the accurate statement is that prison visitation requires NCDAC rules, approval, scheduling, and facility procedures. Do not use the Albemarle District Jail Securus video schedule for this prison. It is a different custody system.

The NCDAC facility page confirms a visiting area inside the prison. Visitors should check the statewide family and friends resources and the facility before travel because state prison visits can depend on approval status, custody classification, housing assignment, and prison operations. Social video rules and fees from Albemarle District Jail do not transfer to this facility.

Pasquotank Prison Mail Money

Mail, phone, and money for Pasquotank Correctional Institution follow NCDAC statewide prison resources. The research did not capture a separate Pasquotank CI mailroom schedule or a unique local commissary fee list. It did capture the important money path: NCDAC prison deposits use ViaPath and JPay-related options, including web, mobile, phone, and walk-in deposits. Funds are generally available by the next business day.

Traditional money order remains a cost-free method for NCDAC prison deposits. That differs from Albemarle District Jail, where Access Corrections and mailed money orders or cashier's checks are the researched local jail money routes. Readers should not send prison funds through the jail account path, and jail families should not assume NCDAC deposit methods work for a county detainee.

Pasquotank Prison Admission

Admission to Pasquotank Correctional Institution is not the same as street-arrest booking. A person usually starts in local custody only if not released after arrest. Court proceedings happen in district or superior court. If the person is convicted and sentenced to state prison, custody shifts into NCDAC reception, classification, and facility placement. After that point, NCDAC Offender Public Information becomes the main public custody lookup.

Classification is the state system's process for custody level, housing, supervision, work assignment, and program placement. The official Pasquotank CI page lists close custody and minimum custody, plus work assignments in kitchen, janitorial, and maintenance roles. It also lists classrooms and GED or vocational education. Those details belong on the prison page, not the county jail page, because they describe sentenced state prisoners.

Pasquotank Prison Programs

Pasquotank Correctional Institution has more documented program detail than the local jail. The NCDAC page states that the prison includes vocational and academic classrooms, medical and mental-health offices, a recreation area, a dining hall, and a warehouse. Education prepares offenders for the GED test, and vocational programs are available. Work assignments include kitchen, janitorial, and maintenance duties.

The research notes a 2017 deadly attempted escape at Pasquotank Correctional Institution as historical local context, but it is outside the recent two-year window preferred for current news. It should not be treated as a present operational condition. The current facility page's strongest official details are capacity, custody level, warden, building description, work assignments, and education or vocational programming.
