Locate Randolph Correctional Center Inmates

Randolph Correctional Center Overview

Randolph Correctional Center is operated by the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. NCDAC identifies it as a male minimum-custody reentry facility near Asheboro. It is ACA accredited and serves sentenced adult male offenders, including people assigned to reentry programming and long-term medical-care beds. The facility page identifies Warden Dwayne Hull.

This facility should not be described as part of the Randolph County jail. It does not book new local arrestees through the sheriff's roster, does not use the county Paytel visitation rules, and does not publish county-style booking mugshots. A person normally appears in NCDAC records after a state sentence, supervision record, or other correctional status under state authority.

The NCDAC offender information screenshot shows the state-level record tools for offenders, SAVAN notifications, absconders, releases, and statistical downloads.

Those NCDAC tools are the correct starting point for state-prison custody in Randolph County.

Randolph Correctional Center Capacity

NCDAC lists Randolph Correctional Center capacity as 226 offenders. The facility also has 68 beds designated for long-term medical care. NCDAC says long-term-care offenders are not ready to be housed in general population because of medical problems. That makes the facility more specific than a basic minimum-custody prison, since it combines reentry, minimum-custody housing, a regional dental clinic, and medical-care bed space.

The statewide correctional population changes as offenders are transferred, released, placed on supervision, or reassigned for programs and medical needs. The NCDAC search is better than the county roster for confirming current or last state-prison location.

Search Randolph Correctional Center Records

Use the NCDAC Offender Public Information Search for Randolph Correctional Center. NCDAC states that the public search provides up-to-date information on North Carolina state prison offenders, probationers, and parolees, and contains historical information back to 1972. NCDAC also states that it does not include county jail records.

1. Open the NCDAC Offender Public Information Search.
2. Search by last name and first name, or use the offender number if known.
3. Filter by offender status, gender, race, ethnic group, birth date, or age range if needed.
4. Open the matching profile and confirm current or last location, offender number, status, and sentence or supervision details.
5. If the person was just arrested in Randolph County, switch back to the county jail roster instead of NCDAC.

The NCDAC search form includes many more filters than the Randolph County jail report. The jail report is a current custody table. NCDAC is a statewide offender database for prison and supervision records.

Randolph Correctional Center Contact

NCDAC publishes both a mailing address and street address for Randolph Correctional Center. Use the facility phone for prison-specific questions such as visitation process, facility assignment, and current local procedures. State public-record requests for NCDAC custody, probation, or parole records go through NCDAC, not the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.

Randolph Correctional Center Visits

State-prison visitation is different from county jail visitation. NCDAC facilities generally require visitor approval and facility-specific scheduling. The Randolph Correctional Center page links to NCDAC visiting resources rather than publishing a local public walk-in schedule. Visitors should expect identity checks, dress and conduct rules, contraband restrictions, and possible schedule changes tied to custody level, medical status, facility operations, or statewide policy.

Do not use Randolph County Detention Center's Paytel visitation instructions for Randolph Correctional Center unless NCDAC specifically directs that process for a given service.

NCDAC Mail Money and Packages

Randolph Correctional Center follows NCDAC statewide prison rules for mail, money, and packages. The facility page links to NCDAC resources for visiting, sending mail, sending money, and sending packages. Those state rules can include approved formats, offender-number requirements, vendor restrictions, rejected-item rules, and separate package procedures. They are not the same as Randolph County Detention Center's scan-and-destroy jail mail process.

Use the offender's full name and state offender number when NCDAC instructions require it. If an item is legal mail, medical material, package content, or money, check current NCDAC rules before sending because prison mailrooms reject items that do not meet policy.

Randolph Correctional Center Admission

Admission to Randolph Correctional Center is not the same as jail booking. County jail booking starts after arrest and creates a local custody record. State-prison admission follows sentencing, transfer, classification, and NCDAC assignment. NCDAC controls facility placement, custody level, program assignment, release calculations, supervision records, and any later transfer to another prison or community supervision.

A Randolph County jail inmate may move into NCDAC only after conviction and sentencing to state prison, or through another state correctional status. Until that transfer happens, the county roster remains the better local custody check. After transfer, the NCDAC offender search becomes the correct source.

Randolph Correctional Center Programs

NCDAC says Randolph Community College works with the prison to provide adult education and GED preparation. The prison also has a dental clinic serving offenders in South Central, Central, and Western Regions. Its 68 long-term medical-care beds serve offenders who are not ready for general population because of medical problems. Those details are important because they show why an inmate may be assigned there for medical, program, custody, or reentry reasons rather than a Randolph County court connection.

The facility's history goes back to North Carolina's county prison system. NCDAC says Randolph was one of 51 county prisons for which the state assumed responsibility under the Conner Bill in 1931. It was also one of 61 field-unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s for offenders who worked building roads. A 104-bed dormitory was authorized under the Emergency Prison Facilities Development program in 1987, and the dormitory and recreational building opened in 1988.
